The Lac Ste. Anne De Métis Community Association is inviting the public to celebrate Métis Week on November 13 at Heritage Park in Stony Plain. The event will feature Métis music, jigging, storytelling, traditional food and cultural activities, highlighting the history, resilience and contributions of Métis people.
Lac Ste. Anne De Métis President Tracy Friedel tells CFWE the event offers an opportunity for Métis and non-Métis people alike to celebrate and learn about Métis culture and history.
Friedel highlights the event’s activities, including jigging performances by the Kikino Northern Lights, Métis storytelling and a book display hosted by the Stony Plain Public Library, traditional food and a comedy performance by Lars Callieou.
Friedel says Métis Week also provides an opportunity to advance reconciliation by welcoming non-Métis people to learn about Métis history, culture and teachings in an inclusive environment.
