Ontario’s rich cultural landscape is now more accessible than ever for Indigenous peoples, thanks to new initiatives that open the doors to some of the province’s most cherished attractions.
Among these is the Art Gallery of Mississauga, where Indigenous visitors can explore thought-provoking exhibitions that reflect the diverse identities and histories that shape our community. Whether you’re eager to delve into the City’s evolving art scene or engage with themes of social sustainability and Canada’s complex colonial history, our gallery offers a unique space for reflection and inspiration.
In addition to the Art Gallery of Mississauga, the MNO’s initiative grants Indigenous peoples free access to several other key attractions in Ontario, including:
