On May 26, 2016, at the Borden Military Base, Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) Summer Youth Cultural Program (SYCP) facilitators participated the Base‘s Aboriginal Awareness Day event. SYCP facilitators performed Métis jigging and taught some of their favourite dances to the attendees. They also provided children’s art programming such as dot art and finger-weaving. Despite the rain, everyone had a great time and were very grateful for the opportunity to meet with MNO veterans including MNO Veterans’ Council President Joseph Paquette and Secretary Greg Garratt.
