The Saskatchewan Native Theatre Company hosted a round dance to honour the current Circle of Voices graduates. Eight students graduated this year. COV participants who complete the program receive high school drama class credits in the process.  Not only do these youth gain valuable life skills and a stronger sense of cultural identity as First Nations and Métis people, many past COV alumni further their education and are now providing for themselves a positive life. 

The main project they worked on this year was the creation and presentation of the play Reunir. This play exposed the trauma and death that faced Métis women and children after the Battle of Batoche. It played to full houses in Saskatoon and was welcomed to communities across Saskatchewan.

On March 29, a pipe ceremony was held and a feast. Several members of the community joined the celebrations. The stick man was Bobby Rainey and the emcees were Dion Tootoosis and the always luminous Marcel Petit.  

The COV students were honoured and several Métis community members were honoured with star blankets. MN-S President Robert Doucette, MN-S Secretary May Henderson, Eagle Feather News Publisher John Lagimodiere and former SNTC COV participant and current employee Jennifer Bishop all received star blankets for their work in the community.
