Local First Nations kicked off National Aboriginal Day in Williams Lake with a parade in the downtown core, featuring people of all ages from various communities throughout the region.
Festivities continue at Boitanio Park until 2 p.m. followed by more at the Tourism Discovery Centre.
Here is a slideshow of the parade and an invitation from RCMP Const. Kevin Neufeld to a Belly Bannock competition in the park at noon (below).
