Today is national Indigenous Peoples Day. It is a day to celebrate, remember, learn and walk together.

"When religion functions well in a democratic society, it becomes a voice of conscience. As religious Calgarians, we have something to teach. We are committed, like many others, to building a just and compassionate community.

"And that commitment matters."
