A Proud Métis Community With Deep Family Roots in the Nipissing and French River Area.
Metis Nipissing Families
2024 Rendez-vous
August 17th at Joe Chartrand Park Noelville
Everyone in and around the Nipissing area are invited to the Metis Nipissing Families’ fourth annual Rendez-vous, a tradition dating back to the days of the voyageurs. Traditionally, the voyageurs of years gone by held a yearly Rendez-vous to trade furs and to celebrate. Business and trade have always been an important part of a Rendez-vous but celebration was essential to the voyageurs, First Nations, Metis and local families.

We have been here for generations. These are our stories.
“We, the Métis Nipissing Families/Familles Métis du Nipissing (MNF/FMN) are from the Lacharité and Groslot ancestral families. We inherited our communal roots as a people of the Nipissing and French River lands. These lands, our homeland, have been graciously shared with us by the First Peoples. Their traditions are intertwined with our diverse heritage, creating a rich tapestry of cultural unity. “
