The Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) is pleased to provides real time personalized help for Métis Post-Secondary Students. We have added a PSE Navigator to our team to help students navigate available MNO services, as well as offering assistance in locating contacts, supports and services available to them through their own institution. The PSE Navigator may liaise with your MNO support advocate as you transition to PSE or work to help you locate and connect with supports and services available at your College or University as well as any relevant MNO services. For more information on this Program please see the FAQ section below. Please direct any questions to psesupport@metisnation.org
