August 21st - First Annual First Nations Heritage Day at the Commanda Heritage Centre. Drumming, story telling, foods and herbs for healing. Celebrate and learn about Commanda's First Nations past.

We are always working to do our best to show how life was for our heritage families. What where those old tools used for? Where did the artifacts originate? What was the latest invention at the time? How did the settlers in the region survive? What did they do? What hardships did they endure the establishment of Commanda and the other communities that we now call home? We hope that every time you come to visit the Heritage Centre you learn or can share something new so that together we are preserving and understanding the legacies of the past.
