Aurora Observes Treaties Recognition Week from November 3 to 9

The Town of Aurora is recognizing Treaties Recognition Week from November 3 to 9 along with other municipalities across Ontario. Treaties Recognition Week is an annual event introduced by the province of Ontario in 2016, to promote awareness of treaty rights and relationships.
Treaties are legally binding documents that outline the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. Aurora is part of both Treaty #13 (1805) and the Williams Treaties (1923). Learn more from Indigenous speakers about the importance of treaties, treaty relationships and rights in Ontario.

About Treaties Recognition Week

In 2016, Ontario passed the first legislation of its kind in Canada declaring the first full week of November as Treaties Recognition Week. 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. Treaties Recognition Week represents one of many steps on Ontario’s journey of healing and reconciliation with Indigenous peoples. Find out more at ontario.ca/Treaties.
