Back to Batoche Days - July 18th to 22nd 2012, Batoche Saskatchewan
Back to Batoche Days is the Métis Nation's commemoration of their culture, traditions and heritage. It is the time and the place when and where the Métis memorialize and pay homage to national heroes such as Louis Riel, Gabriel Dumont, Howard Adams, Jim Brady and many, many others. It’s a time to celebrate who the Métis are as a Nation today and for future generations. Visitors to the event can come and camp at the new electrical campsites, or pitch a tipi or tent and sleep under a prairie sky, like so many Métis settlers did centuries ago. The 4 day festival is traditionally held every 3rd weekend in July and is open to everyone from 0-99! It is a drug and alcohol free event.
This year marks the 16th Anniversary for Aboriginal Family Services Inc., a non-profit, community based and uniquely Aboriginal governed corporation providing services to urban Aboriginal families and children in Regina and area since 1996.
