President’s Message
As President of the Manitoba Metis Federation, it is my privilege to invite
you to join our 46th Annual General Assembly (AGA) as a sponsor,
tradeshow participant or both. The AGA will take place on November 15 and
16, 2014. This package contains everything you need to take part.
The Metis represent a significant buying group in our province's marketplace.
The MMF is your gateway to this market segment. What better way to spread
the word about your business?
Did you know the Metis people are the fastest growing Aboriginal population in
Canada? Our consumer base is over 100,000 people in Manitoba, and close to
400,000 across Western Canada.
With 3,000 delegates, exhibitors and guests attending our AGA, the Federation boasts the largest gathering of Metis
delegates in Canada. AGA participants include Metis business owners, government agencies and individual consumers. All of them come to our Assembly to review our accomplishments and celebrate our achievements. The AGA is
also a place to do business.
This package contains many new options for supporting our event and provides a wide variety of marketing vehicles
to help you reach out to Metis citizens across the province. Sponsoring our AGA lets the Manioba Metis community
learn about your business and shows that you support the Metis; that you care about what matters to them; and, that
they are the customers and clients you are looking for!
Our tradeshow supports up to 100 booths each year, enabling companies, Crown Corporations and government
agencies to market directly to the Metis people. Tradeshow traffic is substantial over these two days, and I encourage
you to take part by registering your space on the floor today!
Your contribution helps to enhance the participation of our Youth, Elders and Citizens. The MMF appreciates your
support, my Cabinet, Delegates, Youth and Elders appreciate your contribution.
I invite you to join us as a guest and partner as we celebrate our Metis leadership, build our Metis Nation and help to
create a strong future for all Manitobans.
Believe in yourself – believe in Metis

46th MMF Annual General Assembly
artnerships
The Manitoba Metis Federation is the self-government
representative that promotes the political, social, cultural,
and economic interests and rights of the Metis Nation
within Manitoba. We deliver programs and services to our
community including: child and family services; justice;
housing; youth; education; human resources; economic
development and natural resources.
The MMF was founded in 1967 by a group of forwardthinking Metis who realized that it was necessary to stand
up and fight for the rights of the Metis in Manitoba. Since
then, the MMF has grown to over 650 staff throughout the
Province, and has successfully promoted, protected and
advanced the interests of its members. The Federation
negotiates with the Provincial and Federal governments to
access funding to provide services to the Metis people of
Manitoba.
The Annual General Assembly is a fundamental part of our governance structure. There, our citizens review our
accomplishments and celebrate our success. The AGA provides each of us the opportunity to help set our goals and
provides clear direction on upcoming investments and future priorities.
Our past offers guidance and is intimately linked to our present and our future. Through the leadership of Louis
Riel and others, the Metis were the Founders of Manitoba. Under Riel, the Legislative Assembly of the Assiniboine
became Manitoba’s first provincial government. The signing of the Manitoba Act in 1870 brought this province into
Confederation, making us partners in the great country of Canada.
Today, the Metis continue to play an integral part in Manitoba’s cultural life and economic prosperity. We
welcome you to our AGA, and thank you for being a part of our history!
Manitoba Metis Federation will work with all sponsors to discuss the most beneficial allocation of all funding
and the most appropriate levels of sponsorship to suit your business.
We have a proven marketing strategy that ensures our sponsors are prominently viewed by all delegates,
media and the public.

Special Event Sponsorship Opportunities
Metis Youth Conference: Success In A Digital World + Trades Today
Sponsorship of this event will support crucial educational tools for the Metis youth market.
Metis Youth events at the AGA routinely draw up to 140 Metis youth. These events are valuable learning sessions for our young
people.
Success in a digital world and trades today
Sometimes youth (and adults) don’t realize the potential impact social media may have on their current or future employment
opportunities. This year we will be discussing the consequences of combining work and social media.
This year, the theme of the MMF Youth Conference is “Success in a Digital World”, and to support this focus there will be a
number of presentations, workshops and group activities to help show our youth how to stay technologically smart, savvy, and
safe in this digital age. Also, in an effort to increase the variety of presenters and topics, the conference will be split into two
streams: 'Professional Path’ and ‘Trades Today’.
Young attendees, who envision a future involving post secondary education, or business, technology or entrepreneurial pursuits, will find that the 'Professional Path’ stream offers seminar topics and breakout sessions which are both informative and
inspirational. You’ll hear from accomplished Metis business owners and professionals, who’ve built successful careers in areas
such as software development and industrial design. Participants will also learn about the tremendous opportunities available
to Metis youth that are interested in developing careers in business, the sciences, and technology.
Conference attendees that are looking to get job ready and enter the work force, or pursue a trade, will find the 'Trades Today’
youth conference stream to be the right option. Seminar topics and breakout sessions will allow attendees to hear from
experienced Industry partners, and those who currently work in the trades. Participants will learn about the variety of skilled
employment opportunities out there, what it takes to enter a particular field of work, and what it takes to stay in that field and
be successful. Those who participate on the ’Trades Today’ side of the conference will also have the opportunity to try out some
jobs, firsthand, in a computer simulator.
Support these valuable learning opportunities by becoming an event partner. Your sponsorship will receive recognition
through signage and formal announcements, and will help provide catering services for the event, along with
special prize draws. Your company will also have an opportunity to profile your goods and services to this up and coming
population of consumers.
