Over the past few weeks, the Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) delivered training to Métis communities across the province on how to conduct effective and meaningful consults.
The training, funded by the New Relationship Fund (NRF), included a session on collaboration and an issues and opportunities analysis.
During the weekend of Feb. 23-24, participants from Region 1 and Region 2 attended a two-day training session in Thunder Bay where they gained knowledge that will enhance their communities’ ability to conduct meaningful consultations.
The next session is being held March 16-17, in Timmins for regions 3, 4 and 5. By March 31, the NRF funding will have trained 75 Métis citizens in Toronto, Thunder Bay, North Bay, Midland and Timmins.
