The Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) Peterborough and District Wapiti Métis Council held a very successful Annual General Meeting (AGM) on February 20 at the Activity Haven Senior Center in Peterborough.
The meeting gave an opportunity for MNO citizens to learn about their council, as well as what’s been happening in their community and within the MNO. The council also had the opportunity to listen to the thoughts and concerns of the MNO citizens within their community.
Pauline Richardson, Provisional Council of the Métis Nation of Ontario (PCMNO) Regional Councillor for Region 7, and MNO staff from Bancroft also attended the AGM and presented MNO citizens with information on healing and wellness as well as education and training programs and services offered through the MNO. Local organizations such as Fleming College, Trent University, Lakeridge Health, Lovesick Lake Native Women’s Association, and Southern Ontario Aboriginal Diabetes Initiative also attended the AGM to provide information on other services offered in the council’s area.
It was a great meeting and the MNO Peterborough and District Wapiti Métis Council are looking forward to another successful year!
