​Here is another gratitude thought from Ron Perlay Grand Chief of Wolastoquey:

Today let us consider ancestors from east, north, south and west. Think about our parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents and all those who came before us, both those we have met and those we were not able to meet.

On June 6, four members of the Afzaal family in Ontario were struck and killed by a vehicle. The police said the victims were targeted “because of their Islamic faith.” Canadians have to live with this horrific attack, but it was part of a broader global threat: the proliferation of far-right terrorism and islamophobia. Islamophobia is the fear of, hatred of, or prejudice against the religion of Islam or Muslims in general. As Canadians who value equality, inclusion, personal dignity, respect for others, and the rights and freedoms we all enjoy such as the freedom of religion, we stand in opposition to this hatred and discrimination. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Afzaal family, especially nine year old Fayez, and with all members of the Muslim faith community.
