Annual General Assembly 2019

Every year, the citizens of the Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) hold our Annual General Assembly (AGA) where we gather together to conduct the business of the MNO, to celebrate our rich history, culture and way of life, pass on traditions to younger generations and future leaders and share our stories.

As the home of the Supreme Court of Canada’s landmark decision on Métis rights in R. v. Powley, the Sault Ste. Marie region holds a special historical significance, not just for the Métis Nation in Ontario, but for Métis across Canada. As the MNO continues to advance the Statement of Prime Purpose and longstanding mandate of rights, self-determination and self-government it is difficult to imagine the political landscape for today’s Métis without the contributions of the Sault Ste. Marie Métis community. This celebrated site is considered a “hidden gem” in Ontario, offering scenic views, vast wilderness and friendly locals eager to introduce you to the "Soo".
