In Ontario Louis Riel Day is recognized on November 16th, the anniversary of Louis Riel’s execution in 1885. While Louis Riel Day commemorates one of the great tragedies of Canadian history, it is also a day to celebrate Métis people and their culture, and the continuing progress in fulfilling Riel’s dream with the Métis people taking their rightful place within Confederation.
The Métis Nation of Ontario has put together information and resources to assist with telling the story of Louis Riel and the Métis. To learn more, visit the links below.
