Page 16

The Gabriel Dumont Institute has moved into a new home, marking the first time the institute will have all its Saskatoon operations under one roof.

The new, consolidated location for the institute is at 917 - 22nd Street. The grand opening of the new location was held Oct. 12.

Since the Gabriel Dumont Institute began operating in Saskatoon in 1980, it has always run its various programs in rented facilities.

Thanks to the new building, all the programs that had previously been offered at four separate locations throughout Saskatoon will now be offered at the one location.

The new building houses the administrative offices for both the Gabriel Dumont Institute and the Dumont Technical Institute, as well as the Gabriel Dumont Institute's publishing department.

The Gabriel Dumont Institute was founded in 1976 to serve the educational and cultural needs of Saskatchewan's Metis population.
