Knowledge Sharing Series

Parks Canada welcomes you to a very special Knowledge Sharing Series at The Forks.

On select Saturdays throughout July and August, our guests will speak about their experiences and share knowledge that they have gained over the years. Anyone wanting to learn more about and connect more deeply with First Nations and Red River Métis culture is invited and encouraged to attend. 

Knowledge Sharing Series sessions will take place at the Orientation Circle. In the event of inclement weather, the sessions will be moved to the Agowiidiwinan Centre near the Johnston Terminal.

Sessions

July 27 – Métis beadwork with Melanie Gamache - 12 to 3 pm

Hello, I'm Melanie Gamache, a Manitoba Francophone Métis beadwork artisan. My journey started by learning the art of beading but it soon evolved into developing unique Métis cultural learning experiences by sharing stories of connections between culture and history with nature, art and food. I am always honoured when guests visit Borealis Beading to gain a better appreciation of the Métis people.

Aug. 10 – To be announced - 12 to 3 pm

Pat Bruderer is no longer able to attend the Knowledge Sharing Series at The Forks on Aug. 10. A new presenter will be announced in the near future.
