This month is celebrated through events, education and discussions to commemorate Indigenous Leaders and heritage and increase awareness of Indigenous voices today. We recognize the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation as the treaty holders on which Halton resides, and all Indigenous Peoples living within the Region including First Nations, Inuit and Métis. We also take this time to honour the 215 Indigenous children found in a mass grave at a Residential School in British Columbia. Our thoughts and prayers are with all Indigenous children, the survivors of the Residential School System, those who never returned home and their families. We have lowered the flags at all Regional facilities and they will remain at half-mast for nine days, one hour for each child whose life was taken. | encourage all residents to seek opportunities for Indigenous education, discussions about diversity and culture and have meaningful and respectful conversations with Indigenous Peoples. Meetings at Halton Region Regional Council meetings are taking place through web conferencing until further notice. Videos will be posted to halton.ca.
