Metis Plot Strategy For First Ministers Meeting

The Metis National Council is holding a special assembly in Vancouver this weekend.

 

The get-together is part of the lead-up to next month’s First Ministers Meeting on Aboriginal Issues.

 

MNC leaders will use this weekend’s gathering to get direction from affiliated Metis organizations across the country.

 

National president Clem Chartier has previously expressed concern over ongoing talks with federal officials in advance of next month’s meeting.

 

Chartier is worried there will be relatively little Metis-specific initiatives announced at that meeting.
