Message from the Moon River Métis Council
The Moon River Métis Council would like to extend a warm welcome to all attending the AGA in Parry Sound. We are extremely honored to be hosting this years’ AGA. We think you all will be pleasantly surprised! One of the many highlights will be Moon River’s specialty; a fish fry! Be sure to reserve your tickets early for Sunday’s fresh pickerel dinner! And don’t miss the cruise aboard the Island Queen Saturday night! It’s a must do while in Parry Sound!
Ontario Métis Come Together In Parry Sound
Each year, citizens of the Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) gather with friends, family and colleagues from across Ontario at the MNO Annual General Assembly (AGA). The AGA is an opportunity to pass on traditions and conduct the business of the MNO. The 2011 AGA is taking place at the Bobby Orr Community Centre in Parry Sound, Ontario from August 20 to 22, with pre-AGA activities taking place on August 18-19.
Parry Sound is a picturesque small city that sits on the beautiful Georgian Bay, an area that has been an important centre of Métis life and culture for over 300 years. Parry Sound,was part of the great water routes 
of the fur trade and the historic northwest and provides the perfect back drop for sharing the stories for the Ontario Métis, many of which still remain untold.
This year's jam-packed agenda includes an amazing journey through the 30,000 Islands of the Georgian Bay on the Island Queen Cruise Ship as well as a Métis Cultural Night that will include a delicious fish fry hosted by the Moon River Métis Community Council. Traditional opening ceremonies the morning of August 20 will feature dignitaries entering in three Voyaguer canoes and popular activities like the Métis Games will be back as well. A full agenda will include meetings and activities for veterans, youth, women and senators. A two day trade show will run throughout the AGA and include displayers and vendors from throughout the province. Daycare is available and the Parry Sound KOA has excellent camping facilities, which are only 20 minutes from Parry Sound.
So, plan on attending the AGA this year, you don't want to miss it!
