June marks National Indigenous History Month - a time to recognize and honour the histories, cultures, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples across Canada.
This month invites all of us to reflect more deeply on the stories that shape this country, stories that long predate Confederation and continue to influence its present and future. It is a time to listen, to learn, and to acknowledge both the strength of Indigenous communities and the realities of our shared history.
Throughout the month, we are engaging with community events and cultural gatherings that celebrate Indigenous knowledge, traditions and lived experience. From Indigenous History Month kickoff at George Brown Polytechnic to upcoming events like the Na-Me-Res Powwow, Council Fire Powwow, and the Toronto City Hall Sunrise Ceremony on National Indigenous Peoples Day, these moments create opportunities to connect, reflect and learn.
Our commitment goes beyond recognition. It’s about continuing to learn from Indigenous voices, understanding the responsibility we each hold, and supporting ongoing efforts toward respect, relationships, and reconciliation.
