London celebration of Solidarity Day

A celebration of Solidarity Day was held on The Green in Wortley Village. Today’s event included a sunrise ceremony, grand entry, traditional food, dance and crafts.

This all precedes Indigenous People’s Day tomorrow.

Organizers say its about allowing First Nation communities and allies to celebrate together.

Ira Timothy, Solidarity Day planning committee member said it allows people to share from each community and nation.

“It shows that we’re all related. We’re all together underneath a great tree of peace,” said Timothy.
