Celebrating our cultures through wellness! This year we are providing grants for community-led events that are grounded in ceremony, traditional practices and incorporate BC First Nations Cultures. It is an opportunity to bring together the wisdom of our elders and the energy of our youth to celebrate our vibrant cultures across BC First Nations!
June 21 Day of Wellness events are part of an annual wellness movement for First Nations peoples in BC. This is an opportunity to shine light on the strength of your community, to bring people together, and connect with health care professionals and wellness champions in an environment of cultural pride and celebration.
