City of Winnipeg Employees Celebrated National Aboriginal Day

June 24, 2015

As part of the City of Winnipeg’s commitment to Aboriginal relations, employees from across the organization came together to celebrate National Aboriginal day on Friday, June 19, 2015 at the City Hall Courtyard.

The event began with an opening prayer and smudge teaching by Elder Carol Moar, followed by remarks of Mike Pagtakhan, Deputy Mayor and Doug McNeil, Chief Administrative Officer. A variety of Aboriginal artists, performers and vendors livened up the event. Grace Café featured bison smokies, pickerel and wild rice. Free coffee, tea and bannock were offered to all guests and leftovers were donated to Siloam Mission.

Take a look at some of the photos of the event below.
