Qu Appelle Valley Metis Journey Celebrated in Lebret
The Qu Appelle Valley Metis Journey wrapped up August 1 in Lebret Saskatchewan after starting July 20 at St. Madelines Metis Days near Binscarth. About 150 people welcomed the Trek at Fort Ellice with a live band while 75 locals gathered at Fort Esperance the next day. Trail boss Armand Jerome led a route tracing fur trade historic sites including Fort Ellice and Fort Esperance with support from First Nations bands and Métis locals who provided meals. The journey highlighted the valley as a key Métis historic site, noting that the Métis flag was first flown in 1815 on the way to Fort Esperance, recorded by Sutherland.
