The parade is one of several events happening throughout the day, with Angel Races and children’s races taking place this morning.

 

Opaskwayak Indigenous Days celebrations continue this afternoon at Pike Lake.

 

A community barbecue gets underway at one-thirty, followed by children’s canoe races at two-thirty.

 

At three o’clock, children’s singing and the shooting of the arrows will take place.

 

Then at three-thirty, the focus turns to traditional dress and a pow wow.
