This weekend, the 5th annual Empower Her program is being hosted by the Northwest Metis Council.
This event seeks to bring women together for a two-day event that covers a plethora of topics that have a core focus on leading a healthy and happy life.
Northwest Metis Council Vice President Francis Chartrand has a full itinerary of events for the weekend.
There will be several speakers covering topics like healthy relationships, creating a balanced life of mind, body, and spirit, and Consent and empowerment.
The days will also include land-based programming beading, storytelling, and language classes from local elders.
Chartrand also notes that the core goal of this weekend is to have women empowered with both knowledge and courage to face the world.
She also wants to let people know that there is help available for those who need it.
If you or someone you know are seeking help from an abusive relationship, Contact the Manitoba Association of Women's Shelter, or the Gender-Based Violence Action Team at the Northwest Metis Council.
