Failure to attend Métis Nation Health Forum

February 26, 2018

Manitoba Métis Federation – MMF is frustrated and disappointed by the lack of representation from the Province of Manitoba at a national Métis Nation Health Forum and the message that sends to the Métis Nation. A first ever Metis Nation Health Forum was held in Ottawa on February 26, 2018. The Forum brought together over one hundred participants including Métis Nation leaders, officials and staff, government guests from a range of departments and agencies and other health collaborators. Part of the discussion included a review of the MMF-commissioned report Profile of Métis Health Status and Healthcare Utilization in Manitoba: A Population-Based Study. The report was created in 2010 to identify the key health issues facing Manitoba’s Métis Citizens.
