Metis Plans


Sunset County Metis are taking closer look at the services provided to Metis people in the Fort Frances area.

President Clint Calder says one of the areas they want to explore is the development of family and child welfare services specific to Metis.

"In our area we have Weechitiwin that delivers those services to First Nations people," says Calder, "and Family and Children Services who kind of deliver to everyone else, including Metis. We think there is a rationale for delivering Metis specific family and children services"

Calder says they're also looking at creating low-income housing and repairing their existing facilities.
