Due to the wildfires in Flin Flon and area back in May and June, the Flin Flon Friendship Centre has rescheduled National Indigenous People’s Day to this Saturday August the 23rd.
Joe Anne Pelletier the Friendship Centre’s Events and Program Coordinator would like to see the entire community come out to celebrate this special day.
" We wanted the community to still be able to ebrace and enjoy Indigenous culture and it's beauty. We have partnered with Flin Flon City Bus as well as Ruth Betts to provide free transportation throughout the event. We have also partnered with Creighton Rec and the splash pad will be free of charge and open as there will be Kareoke as an activity as well. The Northern Prairie Dancers will be performing in Flin Flon for the first time ever and we will continue with our free barbecue and cake."
Other activities include food vendors,Indigenous market, story-telling and teachings,a penny parade and 50/50. It takes place this Saturday at the Creighton School Grounds between 1 and 8pm.
