PLAN YOUR VISIT TO CUMFI’S MÉTIS CULTURAL DAYS

There is so much to do and see at CUMFI’s Métis Cultural Days. Here are some tips to help you plan your visit!
  • Bring a blanket, jacket, or something warm during the outdoor events.
  • Bring a lawn chair if you prefer not to sit in the riser seating we will have provided
  • We know we are going to have SUNSHINE – but in the event it starts to sprinkle you may want to bring an umbrella or raincoat.
  • We will have golf carts for people with mobile issues that need a ride to and from the outdoor events to the WDM building
  • There is plenty of parking and if you need assistance getting from your vehicle to the entrance, we will have a roaming golf cart to pick you up!
  • The MN-S Registry will be set up for you to submit your Citizenship forms so bring your I.D. and they will help you with the rest.
