A new gallery in Surrey showcases Métis culture and language in a third-floor space at Gateway Station Tower, a stop on SkyTrain’s Expo line.

Amelia Douglas Institute, or ADI, was officially opened Jan. 29 by Métis Nation British Columbia (MNBC), and now welcomes visitors who pre-book a one-hour time slot.

The gallery, roughly the size of a two-bedroom condo, amplifies the MNBC mandate to educate, promote and support truth, healing and reconciliation in a meaningful way.
