Reflecting on Leadership and Human Rights

On Monday, February 16th, 2026, we observe Louis Riel Day, a provincial holiday in Manitoba that honours the legacy of Louis Riel.

Louis Riel was a central figure in Manitoba’s early history and played an important role in the province’s founding in 1870. He is widely recognized for his leadership during a critical period of change and for advocating for fairness, representation, and fundamental human rights. His actions helped shape Manitoba into the province we know today.

Louis Riel Day provides an opportunity to reflect on the importance of leadership, respect, and the ongoing pursuit of equality and understanding within our communities.

As a Manitoba-based company, we are proud to operate in a province with such a rich history and strong values.

Thank you for your continued support, and we wish you a safe and enjoyable long weekend.
