Join us to commemorate National Day for Truth & Reconciliation by making an Orange Shirt Beaded Pin.  All materials will be provided and everyone is welcome to attend. 

Join us to celebrate Powley Day which marks the anniversary of the landmark Métis rights victory of the 2003 Supreme Court of Canada decision R. v. Powley.  

On October 22, 1993, Steve Powley, a Métis hunter, and his son killed a bull moose outside Sault Ste Marie, Ontario. One week later, the Powleys were charged by Conservation Officers for hunting moose without a license and unlawful possession of moose contrary to Ontario's Game and Fish Act. On September 19, 2003, in a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court of Canada confirmed the constitutional protection for the harvesting rights of the Métis people. Section. 35 of the constitution is a substantive promise to the Métis, recognizing their distinct existence and protecting their Indigenous rights.

Join us in-person in the Agora or if you cannot attend in-person, join us virtually
