At the community level, Housing Branch is providing

cultural centre is the first building owned by MNO in
the Province and much hard work was put into the proposal,
acquisition and renovation of the property into the
current multi purpose space of business, cultural training
centre and banquet hall/community events centre.
As of this date, the Métis Nation of Ontario
does not own a stock of rental housing specific to Metis

part of the long range plans for the Nation.
