The 2024 Red River Métis Survivors Symposium which was held March 8th-10th, 2024 brought together survivors, family members, community leaders, and allies to honor, support, and amplify the voices of Métis individuals affected by the Sixties Scoop, Residential Schools, and Day Schools. Held at Fairmont Hotel, Winnipeg, the event featured keynote speakers, survivor panels, cultural ceremonies, and healing workshops, creating a supportive space for sharing stories, building connections, and fostering healing. The symposium also served as a platform for discussing the ongoing challenges and systemic impacts on survivors, while charting a path toward reconciliation and justice.
Based on the many words spoken by Sixties Scoop Survivors, the Department will create a safe environment where kinship relationships amongst Survivors, staff, and leadership are built and rooted in Métis culture, language, and ways of knowing. A safe environment includes a physical space that replicates a family home where all Survivors are always welcomed.
Our programs and services focus on repatriation, mental/emotional support, and cultural programming. The Department is there to help you and your families by providing access to support, information and resources. You are not alone!
