The Brampton Arts Organization is hosting a series of gatherings for local Indigenous artists, musicians and creatives to come together, meet each other and further build community in an inclusive and welcoming space. In this context, Indigenous refers to First Nations (status and non-status), Métis and Inuit peoples of Turtle Island. Share what you are working on, meet potential new collaborators, discover resources and new ways of working from each other all while enjoying free snacks, coffee, tea and pop. September 26, 2024 - OPEN TO ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERSEach year, September 30th marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also recognized as Orange Shirt Day. This day honours the children subjected to the residental school system, both those who never returned home and those who survived, as well as their families and communities. First Nations artist, Pam Levi, invites all community members (Indigenous and non-Indigenous) to join her at the BAO office and make your own orange shirt using a cricut machine to honour this important day.

Facilitator:The Indigenous Network is located on the Treaty Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, and the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe Nation, Huron Wendat and the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. We also acknowledge the many First Nations, Métis, Inuit and other global Indigenous peoples who now call Peel Region their home. Originally established as the Peel Aboriginal Network (PAN) in 2003, The Indigenous Network had its beginnings through the hard work of a small group of volunteers dedicated to improving the quality of life for Indigenous people in the Region of Peel. The year 2007 saw the formation of a formal Board of Directors and incorporation followed in 2008. The establishment of a cultural centre for use as a gathering place for the community happened in 2009. The Indigenous Network’s growing group of staff and volunteers have helped to drive the organization forward to dismantle systemic and cultural service challenges among the Indigenous and Non-Indigenous populations in the region to facilitate cultural understanding and reconciliation.
