“Infinite Reach allowed me to meet new people, form connections and relationships, and network with others from similar backgrounds. When it comes to advancing Métis rights and connecting and giving back to the culture, having connections at schools is exceptionally beneficial.”

“It opened my eyes to the many opportunities available to connect with and support other Métis students across the province. I chose to register to build community and foster belonging within post-secondary spaces, where Indigenous representation and more specifically, Métis representation, can feel limited. I wanted to be part of a network that uplifts Métis students, celebrates the heritage, and provides a strong support system.”

“I wanted to give back by helping other students feel connected and supported. It was an amazing experience, and I feel as though I gained just as much as I was able to provide back to my campus community.”

“It was a great way to connect more with other Métis students and push me to get involved more with my school.”
