archive home
Currently there
are seven vacant positions on the Métis Nation of Ontario
Youth Council (MNOYC) in Regions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 9. The
current MNO Electoral Code states that candidates must between
16 and 26 years of age to run for youth positions on the PCMNO
or MNOYC.
The MNOYC is
the body that represents the voices of Metis youth and their
issues across the province. Being on the MNOYC provides Metis
youth with the opportunity to become involved with youth initiatives,
travel to youth meetings both in Ontario and across homeland
(such as the National Metis Youth Conference), learn more about
Metis culture and politics, and network with other Metis youth
outside of their home area.
Youth wishing
to run for the vacant MNOYC regional position must be a resident
of that region and must meet the criteria for verification.
Responsibilities
of MNOYC representatives include:
- Providing
input and setting yearly priorities for the MNO Urban Multipurpose
Aboriginal Youth Centre (UMAYC) Initiative;
- Participating
in MNOYC meetings via teleconference, and one minimum yearly
meeting;
- Working
in cooperation with the Provincial Youth Services Coordinator;
- Ensuring
that the MNOYC follows the MNO By-laws and Statement of Prime
Purpose;
- Reporting
to the Provisional Council of the Metis Nation of Ontario (PCMNO)
MNO youth interested
in applying to fill a vacancy in their region or running for
the PCMNO Provincial Youth Representative position, should forward
their expression of interest, description of community and volunteer
work and resume as soon as possible but no later than June 25,
