Toronto and York Region Métis Community

Holiday Lunch January 2026

It was a wonderful day – connecting with community made a snowy day feel warm! 

Our citizens got to know each other as they played “find someone who..” bingo. New connections were made and bingo was won by many.  Others enjoyed making beautiful paintings or dot art on musical spoons. 

We sat down to a delicious meal together, catered by Hudson Bernard of My Chef Toronto. Mingling continued as citizens checked out our vendors and the MNO Advocacy table.

The day wrapped up with a spontaneous kitchen party jam with Conlin, Métis Youth Community Diversion Coordinator – Region 8 on mandolin and TYRMC Senator Paul on spoons. Conlin also provided some Métis songs after lunch.

A wonderful day spent with community, sharing laughs, stories and art. We are excited for our next event: the Rendezvous on Feb 21 & 22. Register here: https://forms.gle/iop4gYLQP87duRkJ6
