During the 2015 Annual General Assembly (AGA) in Midland, the Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) Veterans’ Council launched the release of a new book, Fighting For Canada Before There Was A Canada: Ontario Métis Veterans Pass the Torch.

The project that led to the book’s release began in the spring of 2013 and submissions by Métis veterans, veteran supporters and Métis youth were published in the book.

MNO Veterans’ Council President Joseph Paquette presented certificates of appreciation to the sponsors whose contributions helped bring the book project into fruition.

The sponsors–Nuclear Waste Management Organization, Ontario Power Generation, Hydro One Network Inc. and Techno-Metal Post—were additionally presented with copies of the book.
