SUMMARY:World Refugee Day: Learning from Ottawa’s Legacy of Extraordinary Action
DESCRIPTION:Advocates from community and faith groups have long played an important role in pressing the Canadian government to adopt more liberal refugee policies. These groups have been driving forces in offering protection for those seeking refuge\, particularly from Southeast Asia in the late 1970s and from Syria beginning in 2015. The experiences are of great significance\, as Canada continues to receive thousands of refugees from Ukraine and Afghanistan. St. Joseph’s Refugee Outreach Committee (ROC)\, one of Ottawa’s longest-serving\, volunteer-run refugee outreach groups\, has helped hundreds of newcomers and refugees since 1990. This event will honour the ROC’s impressive 30+ years of history\, and prompt a larger conversation about how we can all get involved in welcoming refugees in pressing and meaningful ways. It will also mark the launch of the book “”Ordinary People\, Extraordinary Actions””\, which tells how “”ordinary people”” in Ottawa\, and particularly at St. Joseph’s Parish\, have taken small and big steps to welcome people seeking refuge into their communities). \nThis event will include brief remarks from:\nJim Watson\, Mayor of Ottawa\nJacques Frémont\, President of the University of Ottawa\nLouisa Taylor\, Director of Refugee613\nLong-serving members of the ROC\nPast newcomers with a connection to the ROC\nThe authors of the book Ordinary People\, Extraordinary Actions: Refuge Through Activism at Ottawa’s St. Joe’s Parish \nCome learn about Ottawa’s rich refugee history and about how to get involved. For any questions concerning this event\, please email patti.lenard@uottawa.ca.

SUMMARY:Summer Solstice Indigenous Festival
DESCRIPTION:The Summer Solstice Indigenous Festival (SSIF) helps Canadians of all walks of life to recognize the enormous contributions that Inuit\, First Nations and Métis peoples have made to Canada. \nWith input from Indigenous Peoples’ national organizations\, the Government of Canada designated June 21 National Indigenous Peoples Day (NIPD) to celebrate Indigenous peoples’ culture and heritage. This date was chosen because it is near or on the date of the summer solstice\, the longest day of the year. For generations\, many Indigenous communities have celebrated their culture and heritage at this time of year. \nFor over twenty years\, NIPD events in the National Capital Region have created an opportunity for all residents to celebrate the culture and contributions of First Nations\, Métis and Inuit peoples. The Summer Solstice Indigenous Festival is a family-oriented multi-disciplinary arts festival that attracts over 40\,000 visitors a year. \nSSIF is an annual event that truly represents the cultural diversity of our urban Indigenous community\, with full participation of First Nations\, Métis and Inuit artists. This diversity within our own cultures is reflected in all elements of the event\, from leadership to the selection of artists representing each of the Indigenous communities. We stay true to diversity each year\, as we include headliners and workshop leaders from the Métis\, Inuit and First Nations communities.
