National Thanadelthur Day Act

This bill creates a new commemorative day in Canada. It designates February 5th of each year as "National Thanadelthur Day," honouring Thanadelthur, a young Denesuline woman who worked as an interpreter, ambassador, and negotiator for the Hudson's Bay Company in the early 1700s. According to the bill's preamble, she played a key role in brokering peace between the Denesuline and Cree peoples during a period of conflict aggravated by the fur trade, and she died on February 5, 1717.

The bill is purely symbolic in nature. It explicitly states that National Thanadelthur Day is not a legal holiday and not a non-juridical day, meaning it creates no obligations for employers, no days off work, no changes to court or government operations, and no other legal or financial consequences. Its only effect is to formally name this date each year in recognition of Thanadelthur's historical contributions.

This bill designates February 5 of each year as "National Thanadelthur Day" without creating any new powers, bodies, or duties.
