Métis Week

Week of November 16

Each year on November 16, people across Canada pay tribute to the Right Honourable Louis Riel by holding a commemorative ceremony on the date of his execution. In Alberta, the week surrounding November 16 is known as Métis Week.

Rupertsland Centre for Teaching and Learning (RCTL) provides resources and tools to support everyone in their Métis education journey. Educators can access resources and a list of Métis Community and Métis Education events hosted during Métis Week.
