"I encourage residents to take the opportunity to learn more about the Indig- enous roots of Oakville and consider ways we can all work together to support an inclusive, diverse, and equitable community," said Oakville Mayor Rob Bur- ton. Laforme said the perfor- mance will honour and share Indigenous history. "I believe the arts are not simply beautiful and enter- taining, they are the ulti- mate in communication and allow for a deeper con- nection and understand- ing," said Laforme.
