ON schools recognize Treaties Recognition Week with events, knowledge sharing

Several K-12 schools and postsecondary institutions in Ontario marked Treaties Recognition Week by raising treaty flags, holding keynotes and workshops, and sharing resources. The efforts sought to educate the campus community about the relevant treaty or treaties governing the land that the schools are built on, such as the Robinson Huron Treaty of 1850 (Laurentian University); Williams Treaties (Durham College, Ontario Tech University); and the Haldimand Treaty of 1784 (University of Waterloo). School boards such as the Toronto District School Board, Upper Grand District School Board, and St Clair Catholic District School Board marked the week with events and knowledge-sharing exercises to help students learn more about treaty rights and relationships. TDSB is treating the whole month of November as Indigenous Education Month and sharing resources in support of Treaties Week, Inuit Day, Indigenous Veterans Day, and Louis Riel Day.
