2013 Celebration of Bread and Cheese
|
|
|
05/20/13 – Like Bread and Cheese itself, it’s almost a tradition to see rain on this Annual Day of Celebration. This year proved to be different as rain was replaced by sunshine.
Those who came out enjoyed the parade of floats and the midway. At noon, many people lined up for the Annual Tradition of receiving Bread and Cheese. This event has become a day for family and friends to gather and share the events of the day.
Queen Victoria established a tradition of providing annual gifts to Six Nations community members in honour of their allegiance during the War of 1812. In 1924, the first elected council revived the tradition with gifts of bread and cheese.
The popular annual holiday is a part of Community Awareness Week. From May 16th to May 27th, Six Nations Council Departments, community organizations and businesses showcase their programs, services and products.
Bread and Cheese Statement ~ May 23, 2013
(Ohsweken – 05/23/2013) Six Nations Elected Council apologizes to the people of Six Nations and others for the poor quality of bread and cheese that was distributed at the Victoria Day celebration.
Each year Council submits a tender package to various cheese factories and to various bakeries for loaves of bread. The companies then submit a bid to the Council.
Unfortunately, this year only one company submitted a bid for the bread and two companies for the cheese. The bread and cheese was then delivered at 7:00 a.m. on Victoria Day so the Council did not have the opportunity to pre-check the quality of the products
