Métis Week
Posted on Oct 1, 2024
During Métis Week, people across Canada pay tribute and remember the great Métis leader Louis Riel, on the anniversary of his execution, November 16, 1885.
In Alberta, the week surrounding November 16 has been declared as Métis Week. Métis Week is an entire week devoted to recognizing the culture, spirit and sacrifices of the Métis who continue to strive toward rights and recognition as a distinct nation. This year, Métis Week runs from November 10-16, 2024.
