A number of volunteers chipped in during a Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) Credit River Métis Council (CRMC) workshop to make 18 healing blankets to be distributed to Métis families and local women’s shelters.
The MNO CRMC met its goal of creating 18 blankets during the four-week workshop, which reconnected old friends and helped make some new ones.
The blanket represents inner beauty and strength and the gifting of the blanket symbolizes a blanket of care — a reminder that the women are important, cared for and loved within the Métis nation.
