Treaties Recognition Week

Treaties Recognition Week
In 2016, Ontario passed the first legislation (https://www.ola.org/en/legislative-business/bills/parliament-41/session-1/bill-207 ) of its kind in Canada declaring the first full week of November as Treaties Recognition Week.
This year, Treaties Recognition Week is November 3-9, 2024.
This annual event honours the importance of Treaties (https://www.ontario.ca/page/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.
Treaties Recognition Week represents one of many steps on Ontario’s journey of healing and reconciliation with Indigenous peoples. The week was launched in response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action to increase Treaty awareness and provide students and the public with an important opportunity to learn why treaties matter.
