FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — The sound of Métis-inspired music will fill the air at Fort St. John’s Lido Theatre next month, in what is fast becoming a summer tradition.

The third annual Métis Family Jamboree will take over the venue on Friday, June 19th and Saturday, June 20th.

The new venue is the third different one in as many years, following successful events at both the Charlie Lake Community Hall and the Fort St. John Seniors’ Hall.

A guy who found his calling later in life, Edward Hitchins is a professional storyteller with a colourful and extensive history.

Beginning his journey into journalism in 2012 at Seneca College, Edward also graduated from Humber College with an Advanced Diploma in Print and Broadcast Journalism in 2018.  After time off from his career and venturing into other vocations, he started his career proper in 2022 in Campbell River, B.C.
