SUMMARY:National Indigenous Peoples Day & Summer Solstice
DESCRIPTION:The summer solstice of 2025 will fall on June 21\, which is also National Indigenous Peoples Day. This day is a celebration of the cultural heritage\, traditions\, and knowledge of First Nations\, Inuit\, and Métis Peoples.  \nOn June 21st\, we pay special attention to National Indigenous People’s Day\, a day for all Canadians to honour and celebrate the legacy\, diverse cultures and exceptional contributions of First Nations\, Inuit\, and Métis Peoples. Although these groups share many similarities\, it is important to acknowledge that they each have their own unique heritage\, language\, cultural traditions\, and spiritual beliefs. National Indigenous Peoples Day was formerly known as National Aboriginal Day when it was established in 1996 through a proclamation signed by then Governor General of Canada\, Roméo LeBlanc. \nIn collaboration with Indigenous organizations\, the Government of Canada chose June 21st\, the summer solstice\, for National Indigenous Peoples Day in recognition of its cultural\, historical\, and spiritual significance. \nWhile this day is recognized as a statutory holiday in the Northwest Territories and Yukon\, it is not yet a statutory holiday in the rest of Canada. \nLearn more about National Indigenous People’s Day

SUMMARY:Huron Tract Treaty of 1827 Anniversary
DESCRIPTION:Treaty 29\, or the Huron Tract Purchase\, was signed on July 10th\, 1827\, by representatives of the Crown and certain Anishinaabe peoples. The territory described in the written treaty covers approximately 2\,200\,000 acres. Treaties often reference natural features of the landscape to mark boundaries. This treaty uses the intersection of the St. Clair River and “a hickory tree marked with a broad arrow on two sides” to mark part of its boundary. Current communities in the area include Sarnia and Stratford. \nLearn more about the Huron Tract Purchase

SUMMARY:International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples
DESCRIPTION:August 9th is International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples. This day is celebrated around the world and marks the date of the inaugural session of the Working Group on Indigenous Populations at the United Nations in 1982. Indigenous Peoples are holders of a vast diversity of unique cultures\, traditions\, languages\, and knowledge systems. There are over 476 million Indigenous Peoples living in 90 countries across the world\, accounting for 6.2% of the global population. \nMore than 70 per cent of the world’s population is living in countries with rising income and wealth inequality\, including Indigenous Peoples who already face high rates of poverty and acute socio-economic disadvantages. High levels of inequality are generally associated with institutional instability\, corruption\, financial crises\, increased crime and lack of access to justice\, education and health services. For Indigenous Peoples\, poverty and gross inequities tend to generate intense social tensions and conflicts. \nInternational Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples is a non-statutory holiday. \nLearn more about International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples

SUMMARY:Powley Day (Ontario)
DESCRIPTION:On September 19th\, the Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) and Métis communities across the country mark Powley Day to remember the recognition of Métis rights in the R. v. Powley case. While other Métis rights cases had been fought in the courts before\, Powley was the first to be appealed all the way to the Supreme Court. In a unanimous decision on September 19th\, 2003\, the Supreme Court finally affirmed what the Métis people have been saying for over twenty years – section 35 of the Constitution Act\, 1982\, is a substantive promise to the Métis which recognizes their distinct existence and protects their existing Aboriginal rights. \nPowley Day is a non-statutory holiday. \nLearn more about Powley Day

SUMMARY:National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
DESCRIPTION:National Day for Truth and Reconciliation \nAs of June 2021\, September 30th is now officially recognized as the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. This day is a federal statutory holiday\, which allows employees in the federal public service to observe and participate in this important day. This holiday also addresses one of the 94 Calls to Action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission: “We call upon the federal government\, in collaboration with Aboriginal peoples\, to establish\, as a statutory holiday\, a National Day for Truth and Reconciliation to honour survivors\, their families\, and communities\, and ensure that public commemoration of the history and legacy of residential schools remains a vital component of the reconciliation process.” \nNational Day of Truth and Reconciliation coincides with Orange Shirt Day\, a day on which people create awareness of the individual\, family\, and community inter-generational impacts of Indian Residential Schools and promote the concept of Every Child Matters. \nLearn more about National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

SUMMARY:Haldimand Treaty of 1784 Anniversary
DESCRIPTION:On October 25\, 1784\, Sir Frederick Haldimand\, the governor of Quebec\, signed a decree that granted a tract of land to the Haudenosaunee\, also known as the Six Nations Confederacy\, in compensation for their alliance with British forces during the American Revolution. The Haldimand Tract is a strip of land that runs the length (and 10km on each side) of the Grand River from Lake Erie to its source\, including lands in the Kitchener/Waterloo region. \nThe Haldimand Tract is central to ongoing land claims struggles. Throughout the late 1700s and 1800s\, the Crown and Haudenosaunee disputed rights to the land title. Originally\, 950\,000 acres were set aside for the Haldimand Tract; today approximately 48\,000 acres remain. Negotiations about the title to the Haldimand Tract still continue between the Canadian government and the Six Nations Confederacy. \nTo learn more\, visit the Six Nations Lands and Resources website.

SUMMARY:Treaties Recognition Week (Ontario)
DESCRIPTION:Treaties Recognition Week (Ontario) – First Week of November\nIn 2016\, Ontario passed legislation declaring the first week of November as Treaties Recognition Week. \nIncreasing our knowledge on our collective treaty rights and obligations helps us nurture these important relationships.

The Indigenous Education Office within The Ministry of Colleges and Universities supports post-secondary institutions in recognizing the importance this week. \nTo contribute to the broader goals of education\, reflection\, and action\, the Indigenous Initiatives Office hosts a series of virtual events and videos throughout this important week. \nLearn more about Treaties Recognition Week at Waterloo

SUMMARY:International Inuit Day
DESCRIPTION:Inuit Day is a celebration set up to acknowledge and celebrate Inuit culture and contributions\, but most importantly to affirm the voices of Inuit across the circumpolar world. At the 2006 Inuit Circumpolar Council (ICC) General Assembly in Barrow\, Alaska\, November 7th was proclaimed as Inuit Day to honour the birth date of ICC founder Eben Hopson. Hopson was one of the Arctic’s greatest leaders who called on Inuit from Alaska\, Canada\, Greenland\, and Chukotka to work together in order to defend Inuit Rights and to make certain no Inuit community is left behind as change and development increases in the Arctic.

SUMMARY:National Indigenous Veterans Day
DESCRIPTION:Every year on November 8th\, we honour Indigenous Veterans Day by paying tribute to the important contributions and sacrifices made by First Nations\, Inuit\, and Métis peoples in service to Canada.

SUMMARY:Louis Riel Day (Ontario)
DESCRIPTION:Louis Riel Day is a non-statutory* holiday that occurs on November 16th across the Métis homelands. This date is the anniversary of Riel’s execution in 1885. During that year\, Riel led Métis people in the Northwest Resistance\, which was a stand against the Government of Canada because it was encroaching on Métis rights and way of life. He was eventually put on trial where he was convicted of treason and executed. Although Louis Riel Day commemorates one of the greatest tragedies of Canadian history\, it is also a day to celebrate Métis culture and the continuing progress that Métis people are making in fulfilling Riel’s dream of Métis taking their rightful place within Confederation. \nLearn more about Louis Riel Day
