Events and Engagement
The Events and Engagement program at Robinson Huron Waawiindamaagewin (RHW) supports the planning and delivery of gatherings, initiatives, and community engagement activities across the Robinson Huron Treaty Territory.
Rooted in relationship-building, this program creates meaningful spaces for Chiefs, Elders, youth, knowledge holders, and community members to come together in the spirit of learning, sharing, and strengthening Nation-to-Nation relationships.
Through coordinated events and engagement efforts, the program supports treaty education, cultural revitalization, leadership development, and community connection, while ensuring that RHW’s work remains grounded in the voices and priorities of the 21 First Nations.
