"Led by Métis chef Jenni Lessard, this five‑night Field to Shield expedition travels through Treaty 6 territory and the Métis homeland from prairie fields into boreal forests and across the Canadian Shield, pairing hands‑on food experiences (lake pickerel caught, filleted and fried; nutty prairie barley) with community storytelling. Stops include wilderness resorts, national historic sites and urban museums where artisans teach birch‑bark and spruce‑root crafts; communal long tables are set with edible‑flower bouquets and dishes like grilled bison with birch syrup and foraged berries, all paired with local wines, beers and spirits to emphasize each ingredient’s story." - Darcy Rhyno
