National Indigenous History Month

June 1, 2025

June 1st marks the beginning of National Indigenous History Month.

In recognition of our government’s commitment to advancing meaningful community partnerships, Minister Rickford encourages members to participate in local Indigenous events and gatherings throughout the month to learn more about the diverse histories, cultures and experiences of Indigenous peoples who have shaped our province.

Most notably, National Indigenous Peoples Day is celebrated on June 21.

Please see the attached events list. Local schools, colleges and universities, Indigenous organizations, and First Nations communities may have additional events that have not been captured in the attached.

If you are interested in attending an event in your riding, or neighbouring ridings, please connect with Minister Rickford’s team as well as the event coordinators directly. Minister Rickford’s team will provide communications support including reviewing remarks and drafting social media posts.
