Métis Nation of Ontario
The Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) was established in 1993 through the will of Métis people and communities coming together to create a Métis-specific governance structure. The MNO has established a centralized registry of over 20,000 Métis citizens, 31 chartered community councils to represent citizens at the local level and a network of programs and services to meet the socio-economic needs of its citizens and communities.
