National Health and Fitness Day is an annual coast-to-coast-to-coast celebration of physical activity held on the first Saturday in June (June 6 in 2026). Make it a day to explore your community, get outside, and make movement a priority.

It was established in 2014 after the Government of Canada passed the National Health and Fitness Day Act to make Canadians more aware of the important health benefits of physical activity, urge them to get more active, and encourage local governments and organizations to host events and initiatives that celebrate and promote the significance and use of parks and local fitness, sport and recreational facilities.

June is National Indigenous History Month — a time to recognize and honour the rich history, heritage, resilience, and diversity of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples across Canada. 🧡

Throughout the month, Canadians are encouraged to learn about Indigenous cultures, traditions, languages, and stories, while reflecting on the important contributions Indigenous Peoples have made — and continue to make — within our communities and across the country.
