Land Purchase in R.M. of St.Clements, MB

June 19, 2024

Peguis Child and Family Services (the Agency) is excited to announce the purchase of 5.7 acres in St.Clements, MB. The riverfront properties are located alongside the historic St.Peter’s Old Stone Church.

As part of the Honouring our Children, Families and Nation Act, the Agency negotiated Capital Projects as part of this agreement to provide child and family services to membership to prevent children from coming into care. With a concentration of Peguis members living in the Selkirk area, the Agency has been looking for property to better provide services and programming to these members.

Purchase Price: $380,000.00 Size: 5.7 Acres Date of Possession: June 28, 2024

Property Descriptions: 0 Stone Church Road, St.Clements and 1 Stone Church Road, St.Clements

The land acquired is located in the former St.Peter’s Reserve. The repatriation of this property acknowledges and signifies the unjust loss our members experienced being removed from our traditional lands. This purchase was seen as an opportunity for the Agency to secure an asset that would provide adequate space for development in the Selkirk area. The property may be used for:

· Monument to signify our history in this territory

· Land based education area for members

· Gathering place for members

· Debinan Youth Programming

· To host Peguis First Nation events

The Agency looks forward to hosting a community gathering and ceremony, in the near future, at this property.

Women's Gathering 2026

July 15, 2026

Annual Women’s Gathering 2026 On July 10 and 11, 2026, the Agency’s Annual Women's Gathering brought 651 women together across two days focused on culture, entertainment, self-care, and of course lots of laughter. The gathering started with a traditional opening drum song and prayer, followed by welcoming remarks by the Board of Directors and Executive Director Clemene Hornbrook. Members were inspired by a presentation from Chickadee Richard, before enjoying songs by Fawn and Tia Wood whose performance caused Members to break out into a round dance. Throughout the day Members took part in traditional games, bingo, vendors, hair and nail technicians, and even had the chance to get a tattoo by Jenna Mallet. The evening concluded with a musical performance by Teri-Ann Strongarm followed by a high energy concert from Truly Tina, a Tina Turner impersonator. Day two of the gathering began with a presentation by Tania Ross, who shared her difficult life journey and road to healing. The Gathering continued with Peguis’ very own Allysa Sutherland, the owner of Ally's Ribbons, who held a fashion show with local models to showcase her Japan collection. Community speakers and Tonia-Jo Hall presented to the crowd to end the afternoon followed by a supper. Thank you to all the special guests, entertainers, vendors and Members for attending another amazing Women’s Gathering.
