First Gisele Hupe Memorial Award Winner
At the Richer Métis Rendezvous gathering event held in Richer in mid September, the Richer Métis Local awarded Richer resident Yvonne Fontaine Godard as the first-ever Gisele Hupe Memorial Award recipient.
The award was created in memory of Gisele Hupe, who was the chairperson of the Richer Métis Local. She worked incredibly hard for her community and always loved giving back. The award is being presented to recipients who also exemplify these qualities.
Yvonne Fontaine Godard has been very active in the community for many years, heading up the Dawson Trail Musuem committee which is restoring the heritage building in Richer and creating a community gathering space, as well as assisting with the building of the Dawson Trail Heritage Tour, and many more contributions in her community.
For questions, please contact Hadiseh Bajelan, Development Officer at 204-422-5929 ext. 107 or development@rmofsteanne.com

Dawson Trail Museum to Host First-Ever Arts and Heritage Online Auction
Richer’s Dawson Trail Museum is gearing up for a new kind of fundraiser this fall — its first-ever Arts and Heritage Auction, offering a unique opportunity for art enthusiasts and history lovers alike to support the museum while adding to their collections.
The auction will feature over 50 items, ranging from original works and prints to heritage pieces and other artist creations,
promising something for every décor style and taste.
Local resident Rebecca Waczko has been leading the charge to get the pieces online, working tirelessly to upload them to the Givergy auction platform. According to Waczko, previewing and pre-registering for the event will open on October 12, allowing bidders time to browse and plan their purchases.
“The items on the auction will be a great representation of various mediums suitable to add to your collection and display,” said Waczko, noting that many works carry Indigenous and nature-inspired themes. Each listing will also include an artist profile and detailed description, giving bidders insight into the stories behind the pieces.
The online auction will officially go live on October 20 and run until November 14, giving nearly a month for participants to place their bids.
Supporters are encouraged to bookmark can.givergy.com/ MuseeDawsonTrail and view the collection, register in advance, and prepare for the start of bidding on October 12.
