On March 24, 2026 we had the honour of Derrick Pont from the Niagara Regional Metis Council join us at our morning meeting.
A major focus of the council is supporting youth through cultural education and hands-on learning. programs for children and teens include family camps, outdoor skills (like canoeing and bush survival), cultural crafts and storytelling. These initiatives help the young build identity, confidence and a strong connection to their heritage.
Derrick's presentation offered a meaningful look at Metis history, rights, and community building efforts - while emphasizing the importance of youth, education, and cultural pride for future generations.
On Tuesday March 24 we had representatives from the 1st. Beamsville Scouts join us at our morning meeting. The Lincoln Rotary presented them with a cheque to help with their fundraising efforts. In June, thirty Scouts and their leaders of the Beamsville Scouts will be travelling to Switzerland for the World Scouting Jamboree.
