Metis Week November 14-20
Métis Week – November 14 to 20
Mark your calendars - Métis Week is happening Nov. 14 to 20, 2021! Each year, people across Canada pay tribute to Louis Riel, who sought to defend Métis rights and identity as the Northwest Territories came progressively under the Canadian sphere of influence, by holding a commemorative ceremony on November 16, the date of his execution. Rupertsland Institute has announced online workshops, contests, and fun activities geared for K-12 educators. Please encourage everyone to register for upcoming no-cost PD, resources, and free events listed Rupertsland Institute Métis Week, to ensure that Métis Week is celebrated authentically and with purpose.
