The Prairie Wild Team wants to wish everyone a happy Labour Day weekend!

Since 1894, Canadians have celebrated Labour Day on the first Monday of September. In some cities, Labour Day dates back even further, with records of celebrations occuring as early as 1882.

While the holiday is now mostly associated with taking time to enjoy the tail end of Summer, Labour Day has its origins in early labour movements in Canada and the United States of America and represented a celebration of the working-class and a time to advocate for workers’ rights and protections.

Labour Day parades and other events still continue to be held across the country, celebrating the contributions of the working-class in Canada and recognizing the importance of solidarity.

Today is International Overdose Awareness Day.

For 25 years, International Overdose Awareness Day has brought together a global community to raise awareness and take action in ending overdoses.

Today, we recognize the ongoing impacts that overdoses continue to have on people from all walks of life. An overdose does not only harm the individual, it creates a ripple effect felt by families, friends, and entire communities.

Thankfully, there is hope. Through accessible care, education, and supports, we can prevent overdose related harms, and hopefully avoid overdoses all together.

To learn more about how you can help to end overdose in your community, visit https://www.overdoseday.com/.

Over the course of nearly 200 years, it is estimated that approximately 4200 Indigenous and African people were enslaved in Canada.

Today marks the day that the Slavery Abolition Act went into effect across the British Empire 192 years ago. While this laid a pathway to freeing enslaved peoples, for those in British North America, the Act resulted only in partial liberation, only freeing children under the age of six, whereas others were made to continue serving their former owners for four to six years as apprentices.

Canada's history of slavery is not something that many Canadians are aware of. The celebration of Emancipation Day on August 1st encourages us all to recognize this history, and to educate ourselves on the harms it caused, and continues to cause to this day.

For those who want to learn more about Canada's history of slavery, and the people who fought to end it, we have collected several resources that can be accessed through our Linktree at https://linktr.ee/prairiewildco.

July is Disability Pride Month!

Today, persons experiencing disability account for over 27% of all Canadians, and nearly 30% of all residents of Saskatchewan.

Living with a visible or invisible disability influences the way people experience the world, providing unique perspectives, strengths, and challenges. This month, is important to not only celebrate these differences, but to recognize them as the natural part of the human experience that they are, and acknowledge the valuable contributions that persons experiencing disabilities continue to make to our society and culture.

This month, and throughout the year, we practice awareness of the social and physical barriers that persons experience disabilities are made to face, and strive to find ways to make our communities, language, and culture more inclusive of everyone.

For resources where you can learn more about disability in Canada, the stories of persons experiencing disabilities, and how to make your community more inclusive, visit our Linktree at https://linktr.ee/prairiewildco.

Today, we celebrate all the things that make us proud to be Canadian!

While we continue the work of making Canada a place where everyone is welcome and a home that everyone can be proud of, we can take today to celebrate the progress that we have made on this road together, as Canadians.

Happy Canada Day!
