Last year we had a “Free Barbeque, Sharing Circles, Children’s Activities, Artisan market, Exhibition tables, and entertainment for all!” This interactive community event will celebrate NIPD at the community centre and provide further education on the name change of the centre. The centre was renamed in 2018 from the North Centennial Recreation and Leisure Facility to Sergeant Tommy Prince Place as part of the City of Winnipeg’s commitment to reconciliation.
Sergeant Thomas George Prince was born October 25, 1915 and comes from the Brokenhead First Nation, Manitoba. He became Canada’s most decorated war hero having served in WWII and the Korean War. For more info on Sergeant Tommy Prince, please click here.
The centre is in the Dufferin community and located at 90 Sinclair Street (North End-Winnipeg). The event is from 11:am to 2:30 pm. This is a day that Canada recognizes and celebrates the cultures and contributions of our First Nations, Inuit & Métis people.
The NIPD Event will bring community members and families together in the spirit of reconciliation and the celebration of National Indigenous Peoples Day!
