THIS EVENT IS POSTPONED.

Due to the wildfires in Fort Chipewyan, we are postponing this event.

When we feast together, we renew our connections to each other, our culture, and our ancestors. All Fort Chipewyan community members are invited to gather together to enjoy delicious fried pickerel fish and celebrate the season’s harvest.
