Tomorrow the Northwest Metis Council in partnership with the RCMP are holding a Family Violence Initiative Nature Walk event at the Northgate Trails.
Everyone is invited to attend and there will be musical entertainment, a performance by the D Town Jr Steppers, guest speakers including elders from the area as well as an RCMP member along with a scavenger hunt for the kids in attendance with a free lunch and snacks available on site.
The Councils Vice President Frances Chartrand had this to say about the event.
We just want to get information out there regarding the programs and services that are available with the RCMP, Family Violence, the Housing First Program and the Woman Gender-Based Violence Team. We want to get the education out there on what family violence is, what kind of programs and support we have in the Northwest Metis Council and what our partners have to assist in these situations.
The event will run from 12pm-4pm with a shuttle service running from the Metis Community Center at 101 11th Avenue SW in Dauphin starting at 11:30am. It will run every half hour from 11:30-12 and 12:30-1 and all are invited to attend.
You can find more information including a schedule of the events on our Community Calendar here.
