The MNOWC will be hosting an All Candidates Townhall for all MNO citizens Monday 8 April 2024 @ 7 PM ET.

The focus of this townhall is to offer all candidates running in the 2024 election an opportunity to speak. More importantly, they will have the chance to present their electoral platform and how they will support Métis women.

Métis women occupy a central role for their families and their people. In large, they are the social glue that holds communities and the nation together. “Today, Métis women still provide important leadership in our families and our communities. Among provincial and federal levels of governance, female Métis leaders share their voices and perspectives to ensure issues impacting Métis women are addressed. It is a deeply held and honoured belief that Métis women give roots and stability to our people.”
