MFNERC Heritage Fair

The Manitoba First Nations Education Resource Centre (MFNERC) is excited to invite each school to participate in the 2025 Heritage Fair! This inspiring event celebrates the rich histories, languages, and cultures of First Nations students while providing them with a platform to share their voices and stories.

Call for Project Submissions

Each school is encouraged to submit two Heritage Fair projects, with each project created by up to two students. We recommend submitting:

• One project from middle years students
• One project from senior years students

These “project boards” will represent students’ exploration of their First Nation’s unique history, treaty stories, current issues, language, and Traditional Knowledge.

Event Highlights

• Non-competitive format: Students will participate in a Gallery Walk, where they will practice public speaking, share primary sources from their research, and answer questions about their Nation’s history, languages, and cultures.
• Student recognition: Each student will receive a certificate and a special gift as a token of appreciation for their hard work.
• Exclusive tours: Students will enjoy a guided tour and presentation at the Treaty Agowiidiwinan Centre and the Canadian Museum for Human Rights at The Forks.

How to Register

To participate, schools must complete the registration form and the attached audio/visual release form for each student attending. Submit all forms by January 31, 2025, to:
