Treaty Day

Recognizing October 1 as Treaty Day for the fourth year (2022) is an important step in the Province’s commitment to reconciliation with the PEI Mi’kmaq.

Premier Dennis King first recognized Treaty Day in Prince Edward Island in 2019 with Chiefs Darlene Bernard and Junior Gould. This important day celebrates the remarkable friendship and shared history of Islanders and the PEI Mi’kmaq and continues to affirm the Province’s commitment to advancing opportunities to promote the overall wellbeing of Indigenous peoples living in Prince Edward Island.
