There are moments that remind you what community is really all about.
I’m grateful to be part of a community that invests in our youth, celebrates our culture, and creates spaces where families can come together.
Everyone gets in… except the people already here.
Canada’s history is complex, but one truth often gets overlooked. Before provinces, before railways, and before waves of settlement, First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples already called these lands home.
As settlers arrived from Britain, Scotland, Ireland, France, and many other parts of the world, Indigenous peoples faced displacement from their lands, restrictions on their rights, and government policies designed to remove them from decision making about their own futures.
For the Métis, this included the loss of traditional lands through the scrip system and the aftermath of the Red River Resistance and the North West Resistance.
Learning about the past helps us better understand the Canada we live in today.

The Red River cart trails stretched down south and across the Prairies as powerful routes of Métis trade, travel, and connection.
Built and led by Métis families, hunters, and traders, these trails moved pemmican, furs, and goods across vast distances, long before roads or railways. The sound of the carts became part of the land, marking the movement of a people who built strong trade networks across the West.
The Red River cart trails remain a powerful part of Métis history, showing the strength, skill, and impact of Métis people in shaping trade and connection across these lands.
