Treaty Recognition Week highlights the importance of Treaties and the relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities in Ontario. Treaties are agreements established between Indigenous groups and the Government of Canada, provincial and territorial governments.

They outline the ongoing rights and responsibilities of all parties involved and are central to the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. Treaties may seem like historical documents, yet the obligations and commitments within them remain just as relevant today. The land we live and gather on is Treaty land, and everyone in Canada shares the rights and responsibilities related to upholding Treaties. We are all Treaty People.

The Indigenous Collaboration, Equity & Inclusion team will host a Lunch and Learn on November 7 & 8 to share information on Treaties. Each session attended will quality you for 1 ballot entry for a prize basket. For more information, or to register, click here.

You can contribute to reconciliation by completing training including Wake the Giant Training or Repairing the Sacred Circle. For more information, please contact TBRHSC Cultural Safety Educator at TBRHSC.CulturalSafetyEducator@tbh.net.
