Big Valley Bulletin
Congratulations to the Metis Hivernant Cultural Society on the wonderful success of the group’s annual Rendezvous, which took place in Big Valley on the first weekend of August.
Visitors were given the opportunity to learn about Metis history and culture while exploring the hunter’s camp and all the marvelous displays.
During the three-day event, participants joined in the voyageur games and craft and jigging lessons. Friday evening’s storytelling circle was a big hit, while Saturday’s highlights included a great evening meal, a local history lesson, great music and talented dancers.
