Celebrating Indigenous Heritage Month

Treaties Recognition Week was introduced in 2016 to honour the importance of treaties and to help Ontarians learn more about treaty rights and treaty relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. This year, Treaties Recognition Week will take place from November 4 to 8, 2019.

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) has issued 94 Calls to Action, which include calls for schools and communities to teach students about Treaties. Addressing the TRC’s Calls to Action are embedded in Peel’s commitment to achieve inclusion for all through continuous progress on equity. The Peel District School Board is proud to support Treaties Recognition Week to help bring awareness to students and staff about their collective treaty obligations in Canada.

Take some time in class today to discuss and learn more about treaty rights and treaty relationships.
