Summer Solstice
The Summer Solstice Indigenous Festival (SSIF) helps Canadians of all walks of life to recognize the enormous contributions that Inuit, First Nations, and Métis peoples have made to Canada.
SSIF is an annual event that truly represents the cultural diversity of our urban Indigenous community, with the full participation of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit artists. This diversity within our own cultures is reflected in all elements of the event, from leadership to the selection of artists representing each of the Indigenous communities. We stay true to diversity each year, as we include headliners and workshop leaders from the Métis, Inuit, and First Nations communities.
