Métis citizens are represented at the local level through Chartered Community Councils. These councils are the foundation of the MNO in its push toward self-government. They foster community empowerment and development for Métis citizens living within their geographic territory.

Community Councils operate in accordance with Charter Agreements, which give councils the mandate to govern. The Charter Agreements, Community Code, and Community Electoral Code are the policy documents that Community Councils refer to when holding mandatory community elections. These documents also outline the rules and regulations for conducting council business, and ensure transparency and accountability through sound fiscal management. Council governing documents can be found on the Community Council Contacts page. Other governing reference documents are also available online.

The interests of the Community Councils are represented by the Provisional Council of the Métis Nation of Ontario (PCMNO) through one of nine Regional Councilors.
