Premier Christy Clark issued the following statement to mark National Aboriginal Day:
“Today, British Columbia and Canada mark National Aboriginal Day by joining together in celebration of the heritage, cultures and contributions of First Nation, Métis and Inuit people.
“Long before British Columbia was a province, Aboriginal people shaped our history, geography, and economy - and they’re playing a key role in moving us forward today.
“We continue to foster and strengthen partnerships with Aboriginal people in British Columbia, and place great value in those relationships.
“This is a great and proud day that we can all celebrate together.”
