Indigenous Programming

The Town of Halton Hills and Halton Hills Public Library strive to offer meaningful Indigenous programming, representation and perspectives year-round, including during Culture Days. Programming aims to provide residents and visitors with opportunities to learn and reflect.

The National Day for Truth & Reconciliation is Tuesday, September 30, 2025.
