National Indigenous Peoples Day is a day for all Canadians to recognize and celebrate the contributions and achievements of First Nations, Métis and Inuit. The City of Beaumont takes pride in our community’s cultural diversity and celebrates our Indigenous, French, and Agricultural heritage. And through our Municipal Strategic Plan, we make welcoming diversity and celebrating our cultural heritage one of our strategic pillars.
