Quick Reference Sheet ORGANIZATION
MÉTIS NATION OF ONTARIO
WHAT IT IS
Organization Mandate
In 1993, the Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) was established
through the will of Métis people and Métis communities coming
together throughout Ontario to create a Métis-specific
governance structure. Prior to 1993, Métis had been involved in
pan-Aboriginal lobby groups and organizations. The MNO was not
created to represent all individuals and communities that claim to
be Métis, but those individuals and communities that are a part
of the Métis Nation.

Education - The MNO offers a range of supports and services for the educational
success of all Métis across Ontario beginning in early childhood, continuing through
Kindergarten to grade 12 to post-secondary education and into adulthood. This is
achieved through MNO's efforts to advocate for an inclusive education system by
ensuring Métis voices are included in all education discussions, and in the
development of education policies and programs in Ontario. MNO initiated a bursary
program for Métis post-secondary students in 1998. Investments have been made at
41 colleges and universities and seen as merely a first step in attempting to address
this growing demand. MNO continues to explore opportunities to expand and grow
the bursary program with government and industry partners.
