Join us to Celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day at Scotiabank Arena!

Schools throughout Canada are invited to the second annual National Indigenous Peoples Day event at Scotiabank Arena in downtown Toronto!

This year we’re celebrating Indigenous Excellence: Past, Present, and Future with 1,500 students in-person at Scotiabank Arena, and thousands more tuned in virtually, to hear from Indigenous Elders, performers, speakers, and artists!

Afterwards, students attending in-person will have the opportunity to visit a series of learning stations around the concourse of the arena and participate in meaningful discussions on Indigenous cultures, languages, and knowledge.

The concert portion of the event will be streamed live, and virtual participants will be provided with resources to engage in learning and action throughout the day.

NATIONAL INDIGENOUS PEOPLES DAY

JUNE 21

We recognize June 21 as National Indigenous Peoples Day. It is a day to celebrate and honour Indigenous heritage, diversity, and cultures, as well as the outstanding achievements of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples throughout Canada. Since time immemorial, June 21, or the Summer Solstice, has been celebrated and honoured in Indigenous communities as the longest day of the year. In 1996, while working with Indigenous communities, the Government of Canada officially recognized June 21 as National Indigenous Peoples Day.

Take ReconciliACTION

A reconciliACTION is a meaningful action that moves reconciliation forward. It acts as the catalyst for important conversations and meaningful change, recognizing that change starts with every one of us and each person can make an impact.
