Mark June 21 on your calendar and get ready to explore a great sampling of Aboriginal culture.

National Aboriginal Day is a commemorative day set aside to showcase and highlight aspects of Aboriginal life and custom.

This year, the special day falls on a Saturday, so organizers have decided to make it a two day event. Events and displays will be up and ready on Friday, June 20. Several groups and organizations have a long list of events planned for both days.
