National Indigenous Peoples Day in Canada, celebrated on June 21 each year, honours the diverse cultures, traditions, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples.

It’s an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the rich heritage and ongoing achievements of Indigenous peoples in Canada.

This day holds significance as it coincides with the summer solstice, a sacred time for many Indigenous communities, symbolizing renewal, growth, and connection to the land. It was first proclaimed in 1996 and has since been marked by various events and activities across the country.

Today is World Pet Memorial Day, a day to remember the animals who have touched our lives and crossed over the rainbow bridge 🌈 🐾

On this day of reflection, the Ontario SPCA and Humane Society is sharing resources to help cope with loss, as well as ways to honour the memory of our furry friends.

One way to honour a beloved pet is by donating in their name to a local Ontario SPCA animal centre. Your generosity helps give another animal a second chance at a happy life. Tribute gifts can be made year-round on our website, and you can send a card to offer condolences and let the recipient know about your donation.

Prefer to host an event in your pet’s memory? The Ontario SPCA’s Humane Hero fundraising site lets you create your own fundraiser, with all funds raised helping animals in need.

Finding a supportive community during times of grief can make all the difference. Visit ontariospca.ca/pet-loss-support-group/ to learn more about the Ontario Pet Loss Support Group. You will also find resources geared towards children who are grieving the loss of a furry friend.

To honour a pet on World Pet Memorial Day, visit ontariospca.ca/pet-loss-support-group/.

Is your dog the type to make new friends while wandering outdoors?

Wild animals carry all sorts of parasites and, depending on the interaction, aren’t afraid to pass them to your pup. Know which parasites your dog may need protection from depending on their lifestyle at MyDogPersona.ca.

Making your home a haven of comfort and accessibility is crucial when caring for a cat who is getting older, is experiencing pain, or has mobility problems. Signs your cat’s environment may need changes include reduced mobility and activity, grooming habits, personality changes, and bathroom problems. Making just small changes can improve your cat’s quality of life. Read up on tips to modify your home environment at https://bit.ly/4afOqIa.
