McMurray Métis Kitchen Party

McMurray Métis Citizens are invited to our very own Kitchen Party to celebrate Métis Week! With no school that Friday, bring the whole family! This relaxed, welcoming indoor and outdoor gathering will give Citizens an opportunity to visit around the fires, enjoy bannock on a stick, and celebrate Métis music and dance. Enjoy live entertainment from the Bannock & Jammers and Donny L'Hirondelle, and take part in Métis dance lessons with Nicole Lavallee. Youth are encouraged to get up, give jigging a try, and join in the fun! We'll also have crafts and colouring sheets to keep our younger Citizens entertained. Rooted in generations of Métis tradition, kitchen parties were informal gatherings where family, friends and neighbours came together to share food, play fiddle music, dance, tell stories and enjoy one another's company. Often centred around the family kitchen, these gatherings were an important part of Métis community life, helping bring generations together and keep traditions aliv
