The Lheidli T’enneh Memorial Park Pavilion is an expression of a partnership between the City and the Lheidli T’enneh First Nation. To celebrate its opening, four days of activities and events are planned, starting on National Indigenous Peoples Day (June 21) and continuing through to Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day (June 24).

Everyone is welcome to enjoy music, public art, theatre, and storytelling in the spectacular environment of Lheidli T’enneh Memorial Park, near the confluence of the Fraser and Nechako Rivers. Events will be appropriate for children and families, aimed at fostering intercultural understanding and greater community pride.

It has been said that we do not inherit the land from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children. Perhaps the same is true of culture and identity. This Pavilion is a place of gathering and celebration, recognising the importance of family and the promise of children.

Le pavillon du parc commémoratif Lheidli T'enneh est l'expression d'un partenariat entre la ville et la première nation Lheidli T'enneh. Pour célébrer son inauguration, quatre jours d'activités et d'événements sont prévus, de la journée nationale des peuples autochtones (21 juin) jusqu'à la journée de la St-Jean-Baptiste (24 juin).

Tout le monde est bienvenu pour profiter de la musique, de l'art public, du théâtre et de la narration dans l'environnement spectaculaire du parc commémoratif Lheidli T'enneh, près du confluent des rivières Fraser et Nechako. Les événements seront appropriés pour les enfants et les familles, visant à favoriser la compréhension interculturelle et une plus grande fierté communautaire.

Il a été dit que nous n'héritons pas de la terre de nos ancêtres, nous l'empruntons de nos enfants. C'est peut-être le cas de la culture et de l'identité. Ce pavillon se veut un lieu de rassemblement et de célébration, reconnaissant l'importance de la famille et de la promesse faite aux enfants.
