I participated in the Cultural activities that took place on Parliament Hill today. The purpose of today's event was to spend time with Inuit groups and Celebrated Life and Culture on World Suicide Prevention Day.
Inuit organizations in Ottawa hosted this gathering which included Inuit throat singing, traditional games and cultural activities on Parliament Hill to celebrate and show the strengths of the Inuit way of life.
The event was a success as it celebrated Inuit culture and recognized the contributions that Inuit across Canada are making in the areas of suicide prevention and mental health promotion.
I enjoyed spending my day with the staff from the Ajunnginiq Centre of NAHO who were distributing resources on mental health at the event.
I even got my picture taken with Inuit pop star Susan Aglukark who was a special guest at the event.
