Louis Riel Day Celebration

Saturday, November 15, 2025 at 7 p.m.

We are thrilled to announce that V'ni Dansi will once again be returning for the 20th annual Louis Riel Day celebration! Mark your calendars for Saturday, November 15, at 7 PM at the Faris Theatre at the Dance Centre (677 Davie Street). Join us for an event filled with dance, culture, and fun for the whole family.

This milestone event will feature Gary Lepine, renowned Métis fiddler and storyteller from Manitoba, and Maria Campbell, acclaimed Métis author, playwright, and Elder from Saskatchewan. Each will offer a solo performance reflecting their unique artistic practice and cultural legacy.

The evening will also feature V’ni Dansi’s own Louis Riel Métis Dancers, performing both traditional Métis jigging and contemporary choreographies that honour our heritage and cultural continuity.

Celebrate the life and legacy of Louis Riel with us in an evening of intergenerational learning, artistry, and joy. This family-friendly celebration invites all communities to come together in recognition of Métis strength, resilience, and cultural pride.
