Canada lacks clear funding, overall plan to commemorate treaties: document
“Furthermore, they have the potential for high impact in advancing reconciliation with relatively low cost.”The November 2021 briefing note says besides these historic agreements, some modern treaties will also cross important milestones, including Nunavut, which will have been a territory for 25 years in 2024.
“Treaty First Nations have continually called on the federal government to better recognize and commemorate treaties,” it read. Officials say that to date, Ottawa’s role in helping mark such events has been limited, in part due to the fact there is not a dedicated source of funding. The briefing note also suggests there are some issues with the programs the Canadian Heritage department has on offer.
Officials added that, based on their meetings, they found “no federal department currently has a plan for treaty commemorations or funding for upcoming treaty anniversaries,” with only limited support being available. They’ve recommended departments work to come up with an approach for the commemorations.
