Summary
Council recognized October 12, 2026 as Indigenous Peoples' Day, but a long line of Indigenous residents and allies urged Council to go further and make it a permanent city holiday by ordinance, citing a 1,300-signature petition and a Commonwealth Court ruling that the decision rests with Council.
