RDP celebrates Métis week through educational events
Beginning today, Red Deer Polytechnic is honouring the Métis Nation with a week’s worth of events the post-secondary institution is hosting in recognition of Métis Week in Canada.
Celebrating Métis Week in Canada annually is one of the ways RDP says it demonstrates its intention of building relationships between Indigenous Peoples and the polytechnic.
“Red Deer Polytechnic is organizing these events, led by the Indigenous Initiatives team, to provide opportunities for people who live on Treaty 7, Treaty 6 and Métis ancestral lands to come together,” stated an RDP news release.
“The events are held in the spirit of truth and reconciliation for everyone to learn about the Métis Nation, including cultural pride and the historical challenges faced by Métis Peoples.”
