Join the Town of Canmore and partners in celebrating National Indigenous History Month throughout June.
Each June, the Town of Canmore celebrates National Indigenous History Month and National Indigenous Peoples Day — recognizing and honouring the unique heritage, diverse cultures, and outstanding contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities across Turtle Island.
We have partnered with various groups to create programming throughout the month of June. Bring your family and friends to these special and important events, where we can learn, celebrate, and come together in the spirit of respect, reciprocity and truth.
