This year, we celebrated National Indigenous Peoples Day at Muskoka Heritage Place in Huntsville, Ontario. It was wonderful to be invited back to share Indigenous culture with students, families, and visitors from across the community. The event offered opportunities to learn from First Nations, Métis, and Inuit presenters, showing students that Indigenous cultures are diverse, vibrant, and very much alive today.
We were honoured to return to the Oshawa & Durham Region Métis Council's 17th Annual Métis Heritage Celebration on June 20, 2026. The event brought together Métis families, community members, and visitors for a full day of culture, learning, music, food, and celebration at the Ajax Community Centre.
We had a wonderful time visiting Greater Gatineau Elementary School to teach our Métis Music, History, and Culture workshop for students from Kindergarten to Grade 6.
Y4Y Canada recently travelled to Mallorytown to facilitate a bannock-making workshop with students at Front of Yonge Elementary School. Throughout the day, we led four workshop sessions with approximately 27 students in each group, reaching students from Kindergarten to Grade 6.
We looked forward to taking part in the NAC Summer Indigenous Market this year. This opportunity allowed us to sell a variety of our homemade chocolates, fudge, brownies, bannock, jams, and prairie favourites.
