The Bkejwanong Children’s Centre held a parade today in celebration of National Aboriginal Day, which is coming up this weekend.

There was also a mini pow-wow held at Walpole Island Elementary School afterwards.

It is a special day to celebrate the unique heritage, diverse cultures and outstanding achievements of First Nations, Inuit and MĂ©tis peoples in Canada.
