As we walk forward together, Visit Oliver stands in solidarity with the Osoyoos Indian Band and Indigenous communities across Canada on this National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. We acknowledge the deep history and culture of the Syilx people, whose land we are privileged to share in the South Okanagan.

Today, we take a moment to reflect on the past, honour the resilience of Indigenous peoples, and commit to walking the path of reconciliation together. It’s not just a day, but an ongoing journey to learn, listen, and support.

We encourage everyone to take time today to educate themselves on the rich cultural heritage of the Osoyoos Indian Band and support Indigenous-led businesses, initiatives, and events in our region. Let’s work together to build stronger, more inclusive communities for future generations. 🧡

June 21 is National Indigenous Peoples Day, a day for all Canadians to recognize and celebrate the unique heritage, diverse cultures, and outstanding contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. At Oliver Tourism, we acknowledge the profound contributions of Indigenous Peoples to British Columbia’s past, present, and future. Their impact on advancing arts, culture, equity, safety, and community well-being across the province is immense but often underrecognized. We are deeply grateful for the contributions of Indigenous community members in shaping the cultural landscape of British Columbia. On June 21st, and every day, we honour and celebrate the rich cultural heritage and enduring legacy of Indigenous Peoples throughout our province.
