Canada Day

Stand in Solidarity with Indigenous Peoples. View Mayor Dan Carter’s Statement about Canada Day in Oshawa.

The Region of Durham is advising community members that the Canada Day the Durham Way virtual programming, originally scheduled for Canada Day, will not be taking place on July 1.

This Canada Day, the City of Oshawa encourages all residents to take this opportunity to learn about Canada’s and Oshawa’s history, our past and present day relationships with Indigenous Peoples and about the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action. It is a moment for all of us to reflect and commit towards reconciliation and to forge a better future together.

We encourage all residents to take time this Canada Day to reflect on our relationships—both past and present—with Indigenous communities, and to move forward with reconciliation in our hearts, minds and actions.
