‘It’s important because we can’t forget,’ said Gabriel Dumont Institute curriculum developer

Events in Saskatchewan this weekend will mark the 139th anniversary of the execution of Louis Riel.

Riel, the first president and leader of the Métis Nation, was charged with treason and hanged on Nov. 16, 1885, at the Northwest Mounted Police barracks in Regina.

The Gabriel Dumount Institute (GDI) will hold a ceremony Saturday in remembrance of Riel and Métis veterans, in partnership with Parks Canada and Friends of Batoche.
