A Message from Vice President Roechelle Gaudet M e s s a g e f r o m t h e Vice President
Hello Everyone!
Hope you all are staying safe as we are still navigating through this pandemic. It has been a busy year to say the least at the Central Office and we have gotten off to a busy start this year with an Federal capacity grant that will allow financial support to flow to the local settlements for developing our recognizedMetis Harvesters database, and it will provide support for the central office to build up our records and information management system. We have also made a request to the Provincial government for capacity support through Alberta Environment and Parks for our Harvesting file. The Metis Settlements were in receipt of Period 6 funding under the site rehabilitation program to do site rehabilitation and reclamation work this fiscal year as well and our administrative team at MSGC worked with the GoA to assist in the roll out of the Period 6 funding. On April 19, 2021 the Federal government released the first budget in 2 years and we are currently working with all our stakeholders to identify areas of opportunity for the Metis Settlements in the varios streams announced, this is a large undertaking as the budget is 738 pages. We have an Implementation Team Meeting under the Long Term Arrangement scheduled this week to approve moving forward on some of our planned LTA infrastructure projects on the settlements, we will have more details coming within the coming weeks at a local level. As always, my door is always open to members concerns and ideas for the betterment of our communities.
God Bless. Roechelle Gaudet
