A huge maarsii (thank you) to everyone who came by at our open house on Sunday! It was wonderful to see so many new and familiar faces. Swapping Métis stories over bannock, hamburger soup, and live fiddle music was the perfect way to enter the festive season! Thanks to everyone who made this possible.

We're looking forward to more gatherings in the new year!
