National Chief Phil Fontaine Gala Dinner
Winnipeg, Manitoba
On behalf of the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs, I wish to inform all First Nations leadership and citizens of a Special Gala Evening honouring National Chief Phil Fontaine on June 16, 2008 at the Winnipeg Convention Centre.

This gala, a first regional honouring of National Chief Fontaine, will raise funds for the Agnes and JB Fontaine Scholarship, set up in honour of National Chief Fontaine’s parents. This scholarship provides post-secondary funding to First Nation students, over 1000 of whom in Manitoba are on waiting lists to access funding for school.

This Gala evening brings home Phil Fontaine, whose accomplishments have taken him around the world, but who always remains close to his roots at Sagkeeng First Nation. Speakers and presentations will recall Phil\'s early years in politics, his increasing fame in Manitoba and later his inspirational presence on the national and international stage.

Join us in celebrating the life and times of this great leader.
