Check out Ian Gregg’s interview with Sylvia Desrocher of the Prince George Metis Community Association.
“We want to have some fun” beckons Prince George Métis Community Association President Sylvia Desrocher regarding the upcoming arrival of the Asham Stompers dance troupe to Prince George on May 23-25.
Living in Prince George–Lheidli T’enneh since 1963, Desrocher does not recall a Metis dance ensemble of this size or calibre performing here. She’s excited to create this opportunity for the whole community to gather and have fun over a few days.
Emphasizing the event’s value, Desrocher states, “We’re not invisible anymore. We can actually say that we’re proud to be Metis nowadays, and this is who we are. This is a part of us and we want to share ourselves with you. With all of you.”
The troupe will be visiting two schools, perform a matinee event, multiple evening events, and a dinner dance at the Kinsmen Complex. Visit the new Queensway office or call 236-423-3455 for tickets.
