- Treaties Recognition Week

- 11/2/2035 – 11/9/2035
This annual event honours the importance of treaties and helps students and residents of Ontario learn more about treaty rights and relationships. By learning more about our collective treaty rights and obligations, we can create greater understanding and nurture relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Peoples.
“The Treaties Recognition Week Act, 2016 is the first legislation of its kind in Canada. Treaties Recognition Week will provide a recurring opportunity for teachers to plan learning activities about treaties during the school year. Treaties Recognition Week is one of many steps on Ontario’s journey of healing and reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples. It reflects Ontario’s commitment to work with Indigenous partners, creating a better future for everyone in the province.” (news.ontario.ca, 2016)
