Louis Riel Day - November 16

Louis Riel Day is held every year on November 16 across the Métis homelands. The day commemorates the anniversary of Riel’s execution in 1885. It also is a day to celebrate Métis culture and history and recognize the many contributions of the Métis to Canada, and to highlight the struggles that Métis continue to face.

Bear witness day

Bear Witness Day - May 10

In December of 2007, the House of Commons passed a unanimous motion to support Jordan's Principle named after Jordan River Anderson, a First Nations child from Norway House Cree Nation in Manitoba. Born with complex medical needs, Jordan spent more than two years unnecessarily in hospital while the Province of Manitoba and the federal government argued over who should pay for his home care. Jordan died in hospital at the age of five having never spent a day in his family home.

Indigenous veterans day

Indigenous Veterans Day - November 8

Indigenous people in Canada have reason to be proud of their wartime contributions. More than 7,000 First Nations members served in the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War, and an unknown number of Inuit, Métis and other Indigenous people also participated. One Veterans group estimates that 12,000 Indigenous men and women served in the three wars.

National indigenous people's day

National Indigenous Peoples Day - June 21

In cooperation with Indigenous Peoples’ national organizations, the Government of Canada designated June 21 National Indigenous Peoples Day, a celebration of Indigenous Peoples’ culture and heritage. This date was chosen because it corresponds to the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, and because for generations, many Indigenous Peoples’ groups have celebrated their culture and heritage at this time of year.
