National Indigenous Peoples Day

National Indigenous Peoples Day is a day to recognize and celebrate the long history, heritage, culture and diversity of First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples. National Indigenous Peoples Day is celebrated on the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. For generations, First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities have honoured this time by celebrating their rich cultures, languages, and traditions. The summer solstice holds profound spiritual and cultural meaning for many Indigenous Peoples, symbolizing renewal, connection, and joyful celebration.

The City continues to support events recognizing National Indigenous Peoples Day through funding and collaboration with not-for-profit groups leading the planning and delivery of these events.
