Metis Heritage Celebrated


A celebration of Metis Heritage yesterday.

Members of the Sunset Country Metis Association gathered last night at the Metis Hall in Fort Frances in recognition of Louis Riel Day.

Member Darryl Allan says he's an important man to Metis across Canada.

Riel's father once worked in the Rainy River district for the Hudson's Bay company.
