The Town of Aurora is joining other municipalities across Ontario in recognizing Treaties Recognition Week from November 3 to 9. This annual event, introduced by the province of Ontario in 2016, aims 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).
During Treaties Recognition Week, residents can learn more about the importance of treaties, treaty relationships, and rights in Ontario. By understanding our collective treaty rights and obligations, we can foster greater understanding and nurture relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples.
