Métis Dance Project at Fort Langley Artist and Community Collaboration

Dear Friends,

Compaigni V'ni Dansi is excited to invite you to watch a wonderful program of traditional Metis dance. "The Fort Langley Project" is a collaboration between members of the Louis Riel Metis Dancers and young performers from the Langley area. Throughout the month of July, we have been teaching five young dancers contemporary dance, theatre, Metis jigs, reels and square dances.

We are now ready to perform for you!

Performances will take place at 11:30 and at 1:15 pm in the Fort Langley Historic Site on the following dates:

• Week 1: July 26-28
• Week 2: August 2-6
• Week 3: August 10-14

Once you purchase admission to the historic site, the performances are free for all visitors.

Join us for an afternoon over the next three weeks and get a taste of true Metis culture.

Bring friends and relatives -- it's fun for the whole family.
