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.
On June 21, the Bytown Museum in Ottawa became a vibrant hub of fun and learning as it hosted Indigenous Peoples Day celebrations, featuring Youth4Youth Canada’s Kisac program as special guests.
Taliah and Sarina Lyons were on hand to teach and perform Métis Jigging while Akina Ohlman did the same for Fancy Shawl dance. In total, Kisac program delivered four engaging performances, all drawing a packed audience eager to experience them.
Each year, these events serve as a vital platform for cultural education, allowing attendees to learn about the significance of Indigenous cultures, and the importance of their preservation.
We are grateful for Bytown's invitation to appear, and for the warm reception of the attendees.

We were honoured to present our Introduction to Dot Art workshop during the OCDSB’s PD Day on March 28, 2025, held at the Canada Science and Technology Museum.
