Today is National Indigenous Veterans Day. We recognize the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples who have served in Canada’s military and honour their contributions and sacrifices.

Their stories and sacrifices are an important part of Canada's history and deserve to be remembered and shared.

In , one way we recognize this legacy is by incorporating an Indigenous lens into placemaking through physical features, art, and signage in public spaces. Kenneth Blackbird Way was named in honour of Indigenous World War II veteran Kenneth Blackbird. This street name was developed in collaboration with Georgina Island First Nation and serves as a longstanding reminder of the important contributions Indigenous veterans have made to our community and country.

We remember and we thank you.
