But what was there to do for FDV 2021?<\/p>\n<h3>Food<\/h3>\n<p>For the Festival du Voyageur,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.promenadeathome.com\/\">Promenade Caf\u00e9\u00a0<\/a>concocted a special menu: meals were available to order online to pick up, reheat, and eat while enjoying concerts. Whether you chose tourti\u00e8re, ribs in Caribou sauce, Granny\u2019s lemon chicken, or smoked trout, each meal was accompanied by vegetables and bannock. The ingredients are all local and the portions are generous.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/QAO-DzfPbPYqgaEPwW07u-BygfJOvJMVRBQz6weet-BQBe3UM1Io9w7oKf47BcNzHTP05BlsYzW-oohv6-KSI8a8tUe7vueXkQtKLE_eNGRfThb01yLZizGH5F7uHqK2QvD3gB6P\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>I really enjoyed my tourti\u00e8re, but my favourite had to be the sugar pie, deliciously creamy!<\/p>\n<h3>Entertainment<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Online concerts, of course! If I had to choose just one artist to listen to, I think I\u2019d say\u2026 Rayannah! What about you?<\/li>\n<li>Minut Mitchif focuses on M\u00e9tis culture, hosted by Barney Morin. Clothes, ceinture fl\u00e9ch\u00e9e, baking, just pick a theme and learn! Indigenous heritage continues to be present at the Festival du Voyageur.<\/li>\n<li>Recipes! Tourti\u00e8re, pea soup, Caribou sauce and ch\u00f4meur pudding with Chef Luc Jean and three variations using maple syrup with Jos\u00e9e Cur\u00e9e. I can promise that I will have tried all of these by the time Festival 2022 comes around.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/pmVmVonP4L7veOBwpvugzvEDKaUYE6UMHG1-xCyGtt7qfG2K18QH7nlY07KP0wn9YvfziS5OgnTIlnROuwcGtdJR1eQPmmYyH13eYzIMtEmxFSSQug8ppXFmnvVhEbA81MmPYEor\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>Good news, even if the Festival is over, all of the videos are still available for free on their\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCnTyfh1ZKGhlSoy1zp8tCAg\">Youtube<\/a>\u00a0channel!<\/p>\n<h3>Sculptures<\/h3>\n<p>Snow sculptures are spread out all across Winnipeg this year &#8211; hurry and check them out before they melt!<\/p>\n<p>I really enjoyed being able to find a variety of sculptures throughout the city, some fairly traditional and others much zanier.
