Métis Cultural Kits 

​Attention North Island Métis Members

If you are 17 years or younger, or you are a parent of a child 0-17 years and are a NIMA member, you can register for a free Métis cultural kit for Summer 2020. If your family has more than one child and the children are members, each child is eligible for their own kit. 

If you are a NIMA member and would like your child to get a kit but the child is not a member, please complete a membership form to have them join our community.

These kits are to provide children and youth with information and activities to do this summer. We realize that the pandemic has changed our normal activities in a way that we have not necessarily experienced before.

NIMA has been unable to provide cultural events nor presentation in schools due to COVID-19 since the beginning of March 2020. It is important to us that we provide opportunities for our community members to expand their knowledge. 

Registration is required. Please email events@nimetis.com with name, age, NIMA membership number, address and phone number for the recipient of the kit. NIMA will arrange for pick up or shipping depending on your location. 

This program is open to NIMA members only. 
​​

KITS WILL BE AVAILABLE IN
THE BEGINNING OF JULY 2020.
​
REGISTER NOW. 

Cultural Kit Lists

Please note that if you or the child/youth are close to the next age group either up or down, we can substitute items or offer another kit close in age range.
