Louis Riel Week: Collage workshop – Feb. 16

Unleash your creativity while learning about one of Manitoba’s most iconic figures!

This hands-on workshop invites students of all levels to dive into the life and legacy of Louis Riel — Métis leader, visionary, and the founding father of Manitoba.

Through the creation of a paper collage, you’ll explore Red River Métis history, celebrate Riel’s impact on Métis identity and rights, and honour his role in shaping our province. Come away with a deeper understanding of Métis pride and a piece of art that tells a powerful story.
