• President's Corner

    This weekend, we gather for our Promoting and Increasing Cultural Safety (PICS) Conference and I could not be more proud of what this moment represents for our government.

    PICS is about creating spaces where our Citizens, especially our women, youth, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ relatives, feel seen, heard, and safe. It is about having honest conversations, listening deeply, and committing to action so that every Métis person feels respected in our communities, our workplaces, and within our government.

  • GET READY TO VOTE: Women’s Representative By-election

    This weekend is also an important moment in our governance journey. Voting in the Women’s Representative by-election concludes this Sunday, with in-person voting taking place that day. I strongly encourage all Citizens over the age of 16 to cast their ballot. Our Women’s Representative plays a critical role in ensuring women’s voices are heard at the Citizens’ Council table. Taking part in this election is one more way we strengthen our democracy and uphold the principles in our Constitution.
