Songhees and Esquimalt Nations Indigenous Peoples Month & Day

Partners and co-hosts from across the region invite you to join us to honour National Indigenous Peoples Month throughout June and for a National Indigenous Peoples Day celebration event Friday, June 19, 2026.

We are grateful to gather on the traditional Lands of the Lekwungen-speaking Peoples, the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations to celebrate NIPD.

Let’s join together all month to enjoy Indigenous heritage, culture, food and music, activities and opportunities for connection.

Hay’sxw’qa si’em, ƛ̓eeko ƛ̓eeko, heartfelt thanks to the Elders/Old Ones/Knowledge Keepers and all the partners, vendors and suppliers who make these events possible.
