A Message from Elected Secretary Dot Anderson
Hello to all Metis Settlement Members
It is a great pleasure for me to address you all once again as we start on another busy year here at MSGC. We have certainly had a busy first quarter to 2021 with the governmental relations work that I and my colleagues have been busy on, all in light of a pandemic that continues to hit our members and settlements over and over again. I wish to once again extend my condolences to those who experienced loss during 2020 and to send my continued prayers to anyone who is facing other difficulties. In terms of our central operation, I am pleased to report that under the guidance of our CAO, Justin Gaudet, the virus did not stop our team from moving forward on the various files and program initiatives for the MSGC and the Settlements. I would also like to extend a note of recognition to our Health Board Coordinator Darlene Carifelle, who has managed to take up the charge and lead many positive moves during this Covid pandemic, from information gathering to vaccination rollout. Please take a moment to read through the reports for economic development, health, Early Learning and Childcare, Indian Residential Schools, MMIWG2S, the FASD Network, and Strategic Training Initiatives for details pertaining specifically to my portfolio. We have included a a great number of resources in this issue pertaining specifically to COVID-19 and the health pandemic. I would also like to remind and encourage you to check out of social media sites on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter if you are on social media or check out our website as well at www.msgc.ca We are aiming to keep everyone fully informed of the work we are continuing to do here at MSGC and for the Metis Settlements. In closing, I have been very proud of the staff who have been steady in their own efforts to stay safe while also continuing to serve the communities – their hard work and dedication has been exceptional through this public health crisis. Please do not hesitate to contact any one of them if you have any questions about their reports. Thank you as always for your curiosity and I welcome your feedback. Feel free to call me anytime on my cell at 780-235-5515 I would be pleased to hear from you.
Ikosi, Dot Anderson
