Families will make their very own beeswax wraps using Métis-designed organic cotton fabric and Canadian sourced beeswax! Beeswax wraps are eco-friendly alternatives to single-use plastic wraps, perfect for keeping your food fresh while reducing waste.

Families will have a unique opportunity to create a wildlife insect habitat for their own backyard and learn about what they can do to help insects such as bees and other pollinators. By placing these in your yard, you will help to create much needed habitat and in turn, will also be introducing more pollinators to help your flower and vegetable gardens.

Honouring missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls (MMIWG). Red Dress Day was inspired in 2010 by Jamie Black, a Métis artist based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Red Dress Day, first observed in 2010, happens every May 5. The goal of the day is to honour and bring awareness to the thousands of Indigenous women and girls, and two-spirit people who have gone missing or who have been murdered. 

Join us for an evening of crafting an ornament - a pair of mini moccasins. This can be gifted to new parents, grandparents, an aunt, an uncle, or kept for yourself.
