What is the Summer Solstice?
The summer solstice is when the sun reaches its highest position in the sky and the Earth's tilt towards the sun is at its maximum.
In the Northern Hemisphere the day of the summer solstice is the longest day of the year (the day with the most daylight and the shortest night).
Ancient cultures knew that the length of daylight, along with the sun’s path across the sky and the location of the sunrise and sunset all shifted in a regular way throughout the year. They built huge stone monuments, such as Stonehenge, to follow the sun’s yearly progress.
National Indigenous People's Day
June 21 is National Indigenous Peoples Day. This is a day for all Canadians to recognize and celebrate the unique heritage, diverse cultures and outstanding contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples.
Zodiac Sign
Feeling Compatable? This month is the Zodiac of Cancer's and Gemini's. If you were born between June 1st and June 20th, you are a Gemini. If you were born between June 21st and June 30th you identify with the Cancer sign. If you are either of these signs, you generally love to socialize. While gemini zodiac's are more outgoing, the Cancer Sign's tend to be more emotional than the others.
Pride Month
June is Pride month! Show some love to the LGBTQ community.
Did you know that on July 20th, 2005 is when Canda legalized gay marriage and became the world's fourth nation to grant full legal rights to same sex couples, and now the United States has legalized gay marriage in 50 States.
Happy LGTBQ Pride Month.
