For the last couple of years, the Pelly Trail and Ste. Madelaine Locals of MMF have banded together to celebrate Louis Riel Day, enjoying the day with Bannock making sessions and a workshop in the Michif language. There was face painting and colouring for the kids, crazy marbleboards, cribbage and games.
A jigging contest showcased a whole bunch of talent as dancers took to the floor to the music of Kevin and Lorne. The walls of the small meeting room of the George P. Buleziuk Centre were lined with Metis artifacts and information of the Metis people of this area along with the history of Louis Riel. As always there was delicious traditional food - hamburger soup, bannock, macaroni and rice pudding with the day ending off with a Bingo.
