The temperatures were cool but the skies were bright as large crowds gathered at Fort Dauphin Museum to celebrate Louis Riel Day, Monday.

Sponsored by the Northwest Metis Council, the day featured all sorts of fun such as dog sled rides, an opportunity to try out fat bikes and snowshoes courtesy of Northgate Trails, roasting bannock over an open fire, tug-of-war, hotdogs and hot chocolate and much more.

All of the museum buildings were also open for everyone to enjoy.
