BC Métis Federation and Northern Interior Métis Cultural Society worked with many local organizations and Métis community members to bring together one of the most successful Métis Heritage Days ever. Several thousand people attended, estimated at the largest crowd ever for this event. Métis Heritage Days have been held for several years but this is the first year where BC Métis Federation and Northern Interior Métis Cultural Society co-hosted the event. Once again Kikino Métis Child and Family Services from Prince George provided strong support and the local MLA Honourable Shirley Bond, who is also the Provincial Minister for Jobs, Tourism, and Skills Development and Labour, attended and made strong opening comments that were greatly appreciated. BC Metis Federation President Keith Henry stated, “This was one of the most powerful Métis cultural events I have witnessed in our Métis community. There were thousands of people visiting and the Métis people were so proud to be Métis. BC Métis Federation and our partners continue to lead by example and provide much need Métis education, cultural celebrations and cultural awareness.” see more visit BC Métis Federation FB page
