Louis Riel Day honours the legacy of Louis Riel, a Métis leader, in protecting Métis rights and ways of life. Louis Riel Day is an opportunity to reflect on past injustices while celebrating the resilience and rich cultural heritage of the Métis people.
Louis Riel Day reminds us of the journey toward a more inclusive and just society, where the Métis people rightfully take their place within the Canadian Confederation. It's an opportunity to learn, engage, and appreciate the contributions and achievements of the Métis community.
Today, we collectively recognize the progress made and the work that still lies ahead in fostering understanding, unity, and reconciliation in our diverse nation. Together, we can honour the legacy of Louis Riel and strive for a more inclusive and equitable future for all Canadians.
