Today at City Hall, we honour the foundational contributions of the Métis people to our city, and we celebrate the legacy of Louis Riel - a leader who gave his life in the fight for Métis rights and identity. #yeg #yegcc #metisweek

“The Métis have always been builders here. We cleared trails, built homes, and raised communities on the banks of these rivers long before this province had a name. We fought for fairness, not favour, and for recognition, not charity.”

Honouring the leaders who built our nation and the work still ahead

Every November, Métis Week arrives quietly. Across Alberta, you’ll see our flag raised and hear the notes of the fiddle. And at the Alberta Legislature, Métis people will gather to remember a man whose life changed the course of this country, Louis Riel.
