Louis Riel Day 2018
Louis Riel Day marks an occasion to observe and celebrate one of Saskatchewan’s most important and Metis icons. Celebrated nationwide on November 16th, the anniversary of Riel’s execution for treason in 1885, Riel is now recognized for leading a resistance moment against the federal government that fought for the rights of Metis and Francophone people in Western Canada.
