Hey readers,
The Chirp and Chickadee teams would like to wish everyone a happy Canada Day!
Did you know Canada is over 153 years old, but Indigenous peoples have lived on these lands for thousands of years? As we celebrate Canada’s birthday, it’s also important we celebrate Indigenous peoples who have helped shape the country we call home.
Happy Canada Day, everyone!

Hey readers,
Celebrate Meteor Watch Day by gazing at the night sky!
If you catch a glimpse of a shooting star, did you know that it’s actually a meteor entering Earth’s atmosphere? Despite its name, falling stars aren’t stars at all!
Happy stargazing,

Hey readers,
Celebrate Camera Day by going on a photo scavenger hunt! See if you can snap pictures of the following in your neighbourhood:
If you take any cool photos, we’d love to see them! Send them to chirpblog@owlkids.com.
Have a great day,
-Jenna, chirpblog@owlkids.com

Hi Readers,
June is Indigenous History Month in Canada and June 21st is National Indigenous Peoples Day. It’s the perfect time to learn more about the histories and culture of First Nations, Inuit, and Metis peoples.
A great way to learn about history is by listening to the stories of Indigenous Peoples and by reading books like Spirit Bear: Fishing for Knowledge, Catching Dreams. This book taught me so much!
Another fun way to learn about Indigenous culture is to attend a powwow, where you can watch traditional dances, see handmade regalia, arts and crafts, and try all kinds of different foods. On June 21, be sure to check out this virtual powwow put on by the Winnipeg Art Gallery!
See you at the powwow!
