Every year, #HispanicHeritageMonth takes place from Sept. 15 – Oct. 15, commemorating the cultures and contributions of Hispanic and Latino individuals in the #UnitedStates. We value the variety of rich heritage that makes up our communities and our colleagues at EPCOR – it’s why we believe representation matters and helps inspire future generations to achieve their dreams. Ever wonder why #HispanicHeritageMonth starts and ends in the middle of a month? This significant time frame relates to the independence of many Latin American countries, honoring the strength and reliance of Hispanic and Latino communities. Here are the independence days: - September 15: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua - September 16: Mexico - September 18: Chile - September 21: Belize

As we commemorate National Indigenous History Month in June, let's remember that reconciliation is not limited to a single month, but a continuous journey towards healing, understanding, and unity. This month serves as a powerful reminder to honour the rich history, cultures, and contributions of Indigenous peoples in Canada. However, it's essential that we carry this spirit of celebration and recognition throughout the entire year. Let's commit ourselves to ongoing education, engagement, and support for Indigenous communities. By amplifying Indigenous voices, sharing their stories, and advocating for their rights, we can work towards a more inclusive and equitable society. Reconciliation is about acknowledging the past, addressing systemic injustices, and building meaningful relationships based on mutual respect and understanding. It requires active participation, empathy, and a commitment to dismantling stereotypes and prejudices. So, let's celebrate National Indigenous History Month as a catalyst for change, but also remember that our efforts should extend beyond June. Together, we can create a future where reconciliation is not just a goal, but a reality. #NationalIndigenousHistoryMonth #Reconciliation #CelebrateIndigenousCulture #SupportIndigenousCommunities #InclusionMatters #NIHM2024

🌍 Today, we celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day, a day dedicated to honouring the rich cultures, histories, and contributions of Indigenous peoples across the globe. 🌿 Indigenous communities have been the stewards of this land for millennia, preserving their traditions and knowledge through countless generations. Their resilience, strength, and wisdom continue to inspire and teach us the importance of respect, sustainability, and unity. On this day, let us: - Acknowledge the traditional territories and lands of Indigenous peoples where we live and work. - Educate ourselves and others about the diverse cultures, languages, and histories of Indigenous communities. - Support Indigenous-led initiatives, businesses, and movements for social justice and equality. - Reflect on the impact of colonialism and commit to actions that promote reconciliation and healing. Join us in celebrating the vibrant cultures and invaluable contributions of Indigenous peoples. Let's work together to create a more inclusive and equitable future for all. #NationalIndigenousPeoplesDay #IndigenousPeoplesDay #CulturalHeritage #DiversityAndInclusion #Reconciliation #SupportIndigenousCommunities

Today, as we celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day, let's reflect on how we can actively practice reconciliation. Here are four ways to honour Indigenous peoples and contribute to reconciliation: 🔵 Educate Yourself: Take the time to learn about the history, culture, and traditions of Indigenous peoples. 🔵 Amplify Indigenous Voices: Elevate Indigenous voices and perspectives in your personal and professional circles. Seek out Indigenous artists, authors, and leaders, and support their work by sharing it with others. 🔵 Advocate for Justice: Stand in solidarity with Indigenous communities by advocating for policies and initiatives that promote Indigenous rights, sovereignty, and self-determination. 🔵 Foster Dialogue and Understanding: Engage in meaningful conversations about reconciliation with friends, family, and colleagues. Together, let's commit to building a more inclusive, equitable, and respectful society for all.

Reflect, Educate and Engage! These are three things you can do this Emancipation Day, which commemorates the ending of slavery across the British Empire in 1834 with the passing of the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833. While Canada is often thought of as a destination of the Underground Railroad from the southern United States, there were Black and Indigenous slaves in our country as well and across many other British colonies. Today we honour the sacrifice and the perseverance of those Black and Indigenous peoples and communities for their fight to survive against racism and discrimination. But what about now? As we take a moment today to REFLECT on this momentous day, think also about EDUCATING yourself and others about the state of our Canadian culture and the relations among Black, Indigenous and White people today. And most importantly, ENGAGE yourself in the ongoing work of promoting diversity, equity and inclusion across this nation so we continue to grow and thrive. We remember, and we continue on with resilience towards liberation!!! Happy Emancipation Day 2024!! #FourSquareMindfulness #EmancipationDay #equality #equity #diversity #inclusion #KnowYourHistory #KnowledgeIsPower #mindfulness #meditation #MindfulMeditation #gratitude #JustBreathe #LoveIsAVerb #LoveIsActivism #LoveLearningLiberation #DiversityIsOurStrength #SocialJustice

In the words of Thomas Sowell, 'Those who assert that all cultures are equal often fail to explain why the outcomes of these cultures are so markedly unequal.' This statement has sparked a profound conversation about cultural equality and its implications. What are your thoughts on this matter? Let's engage in a thoughtful discussion. #CulturalEquality #ThomasSowell

On this 🌍 #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we celebrate the vibrant cultures and vital contributions of Indigenous communities. Authored by our own Juana Barragán Díaz, 📄 'Ensuring Public Services for Indigenous Peoples' highlights that public services must be accessible, available and culturally appropriate, as well as meet various other important criteria, to respect Indigenous Peoples' rights. You can find it here: https://lnkd.in/dVCxJz3X Our publication underscores the importance of respecting the unique cultural contexts of Indigenous peoples. 🎉 Indigenous peoples often face systemic barriers. Quality, gender-just, and accountable public services are essential, as is their meaningful participation in designing and governing these services. 🏛️ The rights and wellbeing of Indigenous communities must be respected, protected and fulfilled.
