There will be doing a screening of “Women in the Shadows” a film about the journey of discovering Métis identity and looking for the stories of foremothers, by BC Metis filmmaker, Christine Welsh, noted event organizer Tracey Thornhill.
“It would be great to encourage the local community to take advantage of this great opportunity to learn more about the Métis Nation,” said Judy Kucharuk with Encana Events.
