January 29, 2026

Set against the backdrop of more than 40 World War II aircraft, the Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) Clear Waters Métis Council (CWMC) held its Winter Feast, bringing together leadership and community members for an evening of culture and celebration at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum in Hamilton.

The event began Saturday afternoon with guided tours of the museum, which featured not only the historic aircraft but also Métis vendor tables, and engaging children’s activities. Prior to the feast, guests took in opening remarks from CWMC Council President Dana Robbins, followed by an opening prayer and land acknowledgement from CWMC Senator Nancy Bouchier.

In addition to CWMC members, several MNO leaders attended, including MNO President Margaret Froh, PCMNO Secretary-Treasurer Jo Anne Young, and PCMNO South West Councillor Kathleen Anderson. Hamilton Mayor Andrea Horwath also joined the evening’s festivities.
