MÉTIS VETERANS LEGACY PROGRAM EST. 2019 COMMEMORATIVE PROGRAM For more information please contact: www.metisveterans.ca or call 1-800-532-1993 The sacrifices and contributions made by WWII Métis Veterans to ensure peace and prosperity for Canada and its allies remain largely unknown. Métis soldiers returned from the war without compensation or recognition. As part of the Métis Veterans Legacy Program, the Commemorative Program will honour, respect, and preserve the legacy of WWII Métis Veterans by supporting and fostering awareness of their contributions across the Métis Nation with the Canadian public. Those eligible to apply for funding include: • Métis Nation citizens, • Recognized Métis Nation governments, organizations, and institutes, • Recognized Canadian organizations and institutes. These commemorative projects will support the efforts of Métis communities to honour Métis Veterans. Projects will aim to create public spaces with monuments to gather and honour Veterans; host ceremonies; or create education initiatives. The goal is to support the many ways Métis people honour and celebrate in their communities. The Métis Nation invites Métis communities and individuals to learn more and become active supporters and participants in building a legacy to honour our Métis Nation WWII Veterans.
