CELEBRATION: Event Facility and Museum

Indigenous owned and operated

Celebration sits on 12 acres of exquisite property in Chippewas of the Thames First Nation Indian reservation no. 42 that my family has owned for generations, and we are eager to share this space with you!

Celebration is much more than a place to host events. After working on many archaeological projects in southwestern Ontario, I realized something important. The artifacts that are my people’s heritage can be returned home to our territory to be shared publicly. We need to have the right facilities to safely house them, and this is where Celebration comes in. Part of the space is a museum, which showcases Indigenous artifacts, discovered right here on the property, alongside exhibits from my other true passion: sports, especially hockey! My collection includes game-worn memorabilia from Indigenous and non-Indigenous athletes, as they illustrate how Canadians and First Nations Indigenous people connect through their love and passion for sports.

Celebration: Event Facility and Museum brings together my devotion for giving back to my community, preserving the heritage of my people, and enjoying the sports I grew up admiring. Celebration provides the perfect place to share the culture and landscape of my people with those from other First Nations, the London-Middlesex area, the province of Ontario, and all across Canada.

All donations and funding will go towards the construction of our museum, and you may also show support by booking your next social party or team building event at Celebration.

Jiikakamigad (jiik-akamig-ad) in the Ojibwe language stands for ‘there is a celebration'. Our ancestors gathered and celebrated here, and now it’s my turn to return the land to that state of joy and excitement, and invite all to come and see its beauty.
