NeChee Friendship Centre hasn't added a story.
Ne-Chee Friendship Centre is planning National Indigenous People’s Day (NIPD) June 21st. NIPD this year will be held at Anishinaabe Park and will be a festival-like event to bring in people from all over to Kenora and provide a wonderful event for those of us who live here.
Our organization has been involved in planning the celebration annually since our incorporation in 1976. The past couple of years we have collaborated with other organizations to bring in acts such as the Asham Stompers, Shadow Junction and most recently, Sierra Noble.
This year we are bringing the event to a whole new level and we would really like you to be a part of growing this event to meet the importance, impact and scope of Canada Day and Harbourfest.
This year’s line up will be thanks to Kenora Tourism: Juno nominated The Jerry Cans!!! Thanks to Ontario Arts Council: Nick Sherman, Aboriginal Music Award nominee Souththunderbird, Richard Ilman, Reilly Scott, children's entertainer TiBert le Voyageur! There will also be a children’s tent and an musician jam/open mic area where musicians can sing and play together.
Area businesses, artists, artisans, and organizations will be invited to have booths at the event to sell and showcase their wares and information. There will be booths that share traditional knowledge and stories.
We are looking to raise $17,000 needed through FundRazr to fund this coming years event. So far, we have raised $20,000 for this event through Kenora Tourism, Ontario Arts Council and Kenora Hospitality Alliance. Meyers Norris & Penny and Knox United Church will be teaming up to serve a free pancake breakfast and the local churches will be working together to serve the evening feast and we are continuing to secure other large community partnerships.
Show your support and commitment to Truth & Reconciliation and National Indigenous People’s Day by supporting this event that will honor and celebrate our relationships within our community. No amount is too small!
For those of us who can't go out to the bigger celebrations in the surrounding cities this is our chance to have a world class event here at home!
And if you think this year is going to be good, wait till you hear about next year!!
