June is National Indigenous History Month in Canada and we celebrated National Indigenous Peoples Day on June 21st. We will, of course, follow some of the stories covered by our journalists from across the country and make stops in Smithers, British Columbia; Edmonton, Alberta; and Kitchener and Cobourg, Ontario. And we catch up with former Much Music VJ and Canadian Television personality Michael Williams who recently hosted the 2nd Slocan City International Music and Art Fair in BC. Two historical buildings in Ontario will have a new vocation. An old school house on the lake and another in downtown Peterborough. And to the Unhoused Experience in Waterloo, Ontario, where some 50 people pitched their tents for 24 hours in the park in support of the unhoused people in the region.
Our reporters this week were Ryan Hunt, Patricia Holmes, Jeff Gard, Ryan Gillespie-Wilson, Dan Kellar, Daniel Mesec, Pamela Haasen, Edward Sweeney and Scott Onyschak. National editors, Maureen McEwen and Victoria Fenner. Host and producer Boris Chassagne. Viewpoints is produced by the Community Radio Fund of Canada.
