Comments

This coin transports us to Batoche (Saskatchewan), the celebrated enclave of Metis people, the place where they gather every summer to celebrate the cultural treasures that were born out of their distinct history.

The transfer of 690 hectares of land is a tangible example of the Government of Canada’s commitment to advancing reconciliation

July 22, 2022 Batoche, Saskatchewan

No relationship is more important to Canada than the relationship with Indigenous peoples. The Government of Canada is committed to a system of national heritage places that recognizes and honours the contemporary contributions of Indigenous peoples, their histories and cultures, as well as the special relationships Indigenous peoples have with ancestral lands and waters.
