Today is National Indigenous Peoples Day, and there are a number of COVID-friendly events planned to commemorate the day.

 

Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak has the yard, window, and balcony decorating contest, a scavenger hunt, the seven teachings booths, a bannock making contest, among other activities throughout the day.

 

There’s also a livestream residents can view on the MKO National Indigenous Peoples Day Facebook page.

 

Meanwhile, the Keewatin Tribal Council will have a dedication ceremony for the 215 children discovered at a former residential school site tonight at 10:30, which will be broadcast here live on 102.9 CHTM.

 

Then to cap off the day, KTC will have a fireworks display at 11 p.m. at city hall, which can be viewed at a great distance to ensure people can enjoy the show without breaching public health orders.
