Carlington Community Health Centre Spirit

Carlington Community Health Centre has a mission to improve, support and promote the health and well-being of the people and diverse communities they serve. This includes their own staff!
To make sure that CCHC employees feel valued and nurtured, they hold regular staff retreats on site with food, fun, laughter and learning. We were very honoured to be invited to share one of these days with them. Their cohesiveness as a team was inspiring, and they were more than enthusiastic about getting to their feet to learn Metis jig with us! What a wonderful experience!

The Lyons Sisters Métis Jiggers
OTTAWA / GATINEAU -- We’ve been learning traditional dance for most of our lives and would love to share it with you as performers or teachers.

Métis jigging is a beautiful blend of traditional First Nations dance combined with the influence of Irish and Scottish settlers. It can vary from region to region across Canada as each community develops a style that reflects those who partake, participate and teach it to each new generation. Our style reflects everything we’ve learned from Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Ontario.

We would be thrilled to perform at your event in Ottawa / Gatineau and even provide introductory workshops to teach basic steps to pass this beautiful gift forward. Nous sommes bilingues!
