    Métis Business Registration

    Thank you for registering your Métis business in the MNO Secretariat Business Registry!

    The Business Registry is your way to tap into the MNO Secretariat's diverse goods and services purchasing (including local purchasing at the MNO's 30+ offices and owned properties) and to get your Métis-owned business referred throughout the MNO's growing partner network.

    Before you begin, we encourage you to gather the following information:

    • Métis Nation of Ontario Citizenship Card
    • Business Website and Social Media Links (if available)
    • Business Registration Documents (e.g., Articles of Incorporation)

    If you own multiple businesses, we kindly ask that you register each business separately to help ensure that they receive full recognition and consideration within the MNO Secretariat Business Registry.

    Have questions about the Business Registry or want to share more information about your Métis business? Contact us at EconomicDevelopment@metisnation.org


    Confidentiality Notice: The MNO Secretariat Business Registry is not a public Business Directory. The MNO Secretariat Business Registry is managed and maintained by the MNO's Economic Development Branch. Only essential information about your Métis business, including your contact information and product/service offerings, will be shared and utilized internally by the MNO Secretariat and with trusted MNO partners (e.g., government, industry) for the purpose of promoting greater procurement from Métis-owned businesses. Additional information you provide (including business revenue, employment creation, and business development information) will remain confidential and will only be shared publicly in anonymous aggregated form.
