National Indigenous History Month is an important time for us all to reflect and acknowledge the history, diversity, and creativity of Indigenous peoples in Canada. Every June, the Halton Hills Public Library and the Town offer programs and activities that showcase contemporary and traditional Indigenous creativity. Stay tuned for updates on 2026 programming. For examples of the types and range of activities offered, check out the 2025 programing and resources listed below.
