NATIONAL INDIGENOUS HISTORY MONTH 🧡

June is National Indigenous History Month in Canada, a time to recognize the rich history, heritage, resilience, and diversity of First Nations, Inuit and Metis communities living in Canada.

We respectfully acknowledge that the Municipality of Brighton is located on the Mississauga Anishnabeg (A-nish-in-naw-bek) territory and is the traditional territory of Mississauga. The Municipality of Brighton also acknowledges the Mississauga Nations are the collective stewards and caretakers of these lands and waters in perpetuity, and that they continue to maintain this responsibility to ensure their health and integrity for generations to come.
