Chilliwack – The grand opening of the community cultural centre, Métis House, was held Saturday August 22. Metis business leader Louis DeJaeger told FVN that this project was a long time coming and finding the right building was a challenge. Throughout the day, close to 150 took a tour through the new facility, dined on bannock burgers, and were impressed at the new home for Metis information and culture.
It really IS a converted home on the corner of Vedder and Wells.
Part of the ceremony was the unveiling of the Nick Lang Memorial Endowment Bursary. This will aid UFV Indigenous students obtain a degree who have a special interest in working with troubled youth.
Lang was one such young man who died while in care.
