Treaty Recognition Week
Treaty Recognition Week is November 2nd to November 8th, 2025
MPL Margarita, on October 24, 2024, shared in a blog for the Markham Public Library, the following:
- The first week of November marks Treaties Recognition Week which honours the importance of treaty rights and relationships.
- All settlers in Canada have a responsibility to learn more about treaty rights and relationships, because treaty obligations not only apply to the past, but also to the present and the future.
- Treaties are agreements between Indigenous Nations and the Crown on the responsibilities and rights of both parties.
- There are 46 treaties in Ontario and 70 treaties across Canada which outline the sharing of the Land and resources between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people.
