Powwows are just one of the numerous celebrations to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and for one family from Lennox Island First Nation, going without has been a challenge. According to Julie Pellissier-Lush, it's been over a year now since her family has been able to gather with the rest of the community in its traditional way. (Tony Davis/CBC News)Because the family lives off-reserve, Richard said, even if Lennox Island First Nation were to hold a powwow he is not sure they would be able to attend. 'Just missing the entire thing'Some powwows have been held virtually over the past few months and other small in-person celebrations have taken place. But as COVID-19 vaccines get rolled out across the province, Julie and Richard said they are hopeful that in-person powwows will soon return.
