Métis Kitchen Parties – Louis Riel Day 2026

February 17, 2026

Our Métis Kitchen Parties in Mitakuye Oyasin Okciyape at the Exchange District Campus (EDC) on Feb. 11 and at the Indigenous Support Centre at Notre Dame Campus (NDC) on Feb. 12 brought people together to celebrate Métis history, culture, and community in a really joyful way.

Louis Riel Day honours Louis Riel and the strength and resilience of the Métis Nation, and music and dancing felt like the perfect way to do that. With fiddling from Morgan Grace and energetic jigging by Peyton Habinski-Anderson and Savanna Anderson at NDC and with Jason Lepine and friends at EDC, both celebrations were full of appreciation for Métis culture!

RRC Polytech campuses are located on the lands of the Anishinaabeg, Ininiwak, Anishininwak, Dakota Oyate, and Denésuline, and the National Homeland of the Red River Métis.

We recognize and honour Treaty 3 Territory Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, the source of Winnipeg’s clean drinking water. In addition, we acknowledge Treaty Territories which provide us with access to electricity we use in both our personal and professional lives.
