Treaty 1 was signed 147 years ago at Manitoba’s Lower Fort Garry

Join us at the Fort for a couple hours of treaty talk and learning in the historic village where Treaty 1 was signed.

Treaty is an invitation into sharing land for the benefit of all living things. Learn about the ways this sacred commitment can breathe new life into our relationships with one another and the world around us.

Please bring: $5, a bagged lunch, a lawn chair, and a friend!
