The Thunder Bay Police Service (TBPS) invites the community to a special event on National Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Everyone is welcome to join us for a free community breakfast and the unveiling of artwork depicting the Seven Grandfather Teachings, created by local artist Jessica Mamakeesick. June 21, 2026 8:00 am – 9:30 am Thunder Bay Police Service Headquarters 1200 Balmoral Street Parking is available in Outlaws Burgers and Fries parking lot located across from the police station. The Seven Grandfather Teachings are for anyone to honour and live by: Love - accept all unconditionally. Truth - always speak truthful and without judgement. Humility - treat everyone equally with empathy and compassion. Honesty - to have the courage to say and do the right thing – to be honest with oneself. Respect - develop relationships that are mutual and reciprocal. Courage - stand tall through adversity with convictions and integrity. Wisdom - a combination of experience, knowledge, and teachings to make sound judgement with ability to separate inner qualities and relationships. “Displaying the Seven Grandfather Teachings promotes understanding, respect and appreciation for Indigenous traditions, and fosters inclusivity and open dialogue,” said TBPS Chief Darcy Fleury. “It will also serve as a reminder of the similarities between the Teachings, and the values demonstrated every day by TBPS Members.” “I am grateful to the members of our Elders’ Council and Indigenous Leadership Collaborative who shared their guidance and support for this project,” added Fleury. “Their guidance has been instrumental, and I want them to know that we are listening carefully and taking action in ways that reflect what they have shared with us.” Financial support for this initiative was provided by the City of Thunder Bay’s Clean, Green and Beautiful Emerging Project Grant.
