The Town of Canmore, Alberta, has officially designated June 2026 as National Indigenous History Month. This month focuses on recognizing the heritage and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples with a specific emphasis on the Treaty 7 region.
The town works with local partners, such as the Îyârhe Nakoda Youth Program, to offer community workshops and Indigenous markets. These activities provide residents with ways to learn about local history and participate in cultural events during the summer season.
Organizations like artsPlace Canmore are often involved in hosting these programs, which can include storytelling and traditional craft lessons. These efforts are part of the town’s goal to encourage reconciliation and help the community grow closer through shared learning.
As of March 11, 2026, the specific timing for each event is still being prepared for final public release. Once the details are confirmed, the town will update its list of activities to give families a clear look at what is happening throughout the month.
