Although this year we cannot gather as we usually do at Batoche National Historic Site, we want to celebrate the day with a number of activities you can enjoy all week and beyond! The Gabriel Dumont Institute in partnership with Parks Canada and Friends of Batoche have planned the day and are hosting the celebration.
You are invited to watch the premiere of an online celebration featuring Elders, performing artists, drummers, dancers, and special guests. The premiere is Wednesday, July 1st at 1 p.m. https://www.facebook.com/pg/gabrieldumontinstitute/videos/?ref=page_internal and www.youtube.com/gabrieldumontins The celebration video will be available after the premiere at these sites. In advance of the premiere, we invite you to explore the following sites, many with printable activities, and all with information related to the day. http://www.metismuseum.ca/browse/index.php?id=13165 1. Here you will find several activities for children. • A wildlife colouring page and activity in celebration of the new nature trail at Batoche National Historic Site • Two fun colouring pages of the Parks Canada mascot, Parka. On one page, Parka is fiddling in front of the iconic church at Batoche. In the other, Parka is paddling a canoe. • A paper canoe in two formats; one to colour first and one that is already coloured. • Links to sites with information related to today’s celebration and the Batoche National Historic Site. 2.
