Once again, the Town of Huntsville came together with community partners to offer a special two-day celebration of National Indigenous Peoples Day with activities at Muskoka Heritage Place on Friday and at River Mill Park on Saturday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two days were filled with music, storytelling, and learning about the vibrant cultures, traditions, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and M\u00e9tis peoples. Below are some of the images from the activities at the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
