North Fraser Metis Association North Fraser Metis Association, a Registered Charity Organization Check out our upcoming events page to see what is coming up next!

Our organization is a non profit indigenous community that organizes cultural and historical activities and programs for Metis people every year. As on organization, we are often a first point of contact for Indigenous people seeking services and supports. To this end, we are working to build a continuum of care for people from birth to death and welcome feedback and guidance from our members on new programs and new roads we should take. Our nonprofit organization has heard and recognized the biggest concerns of our communities and is willing to find ways to strengthen the bonds with our indigenous family in all regions of BC; to reconnect in a world that is exceedingly disconnected. Not only that, but we also heard and that depression and anxiety are very real and can be debilitating for some especially in the times of pandemic. We also recognized that finances and budgets can feel overwhelming at a times for those who are struggling in finding a job. Thus, it is our hope to receive grants and supports to address some of the key issues that we all have in common. We are eager to help, educate, support, provide, guidance, and pass through our culture and traditions in many ways to our indigenous family and to the next generation to be better and stronger than we are now. Our Mission:

Above all, to preserve our natural resources, cultural heritage, and Indigenous rights for the benefit of our children and the generation to follow
To build a community for our Members
To promote the health of our Members
To advance the cultural, economic, political, and social interests of our Members and Métis Nation
To educate our Members and the public about the history, culture, and identity of the Métis Nation
To work with colonial governments, Indigenous governments, and other bodies for the benefit of our Members and the Métis Nation

In pursuit of those goals, the directors and community volunteers run several events per year. These events vary in scope and focus but are all targeted to ensuring the vibrancy and growth of our community. Some recent events we have run include jigging workshops, history and culture education events, and networking and community building gatherings for Métis families.

Today, we pause to honour the children who never came home, the Survivors of residential schools, and the families and communities who continue to carry their stories.

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a day of remembrance, reflection and learning. It is also a reminder that reconciliation is not a single day or a single act. It is an ongoing commitment to truth, understanding, respect and meaningful action.

As Métis people, we honour the strength and resilience of our ancestors, our Elders, our families and all Indigenous Peoples whose lives have been forever shaped by the residential school system.

As we share these moments from today, we remember the past, honour those who survived, and hold close the children who should have come home.

Every Child Matters. 🧡

"Today, we're proud to announce $300 million that will help advance Indigenous-led housing solutions, making a meaningful difference in the lives of Indigenous peoples from coast to coast to coast. This investment represents more than funding; it represents keys in the hands of individuals and families.

With this commitment, the Government of Canada has now entrusted NICHI with more than half a billion dollars to support Indigenous housing. That investment reflects the federal government's confidence in NICHI as a national Indigenous housing organization and its belief that a For Indigenous, By Indigenous approach delivers results for communities.

We also recognize Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) for continuing to support NICHI in advancing a For Indigenous, By Indigenous approach to housing. This renewed investment builds on the success of the initial funding and shows what can be achieved when Indigenous organizations are trusted to lead, make decisions and deliver housing solutions that respond to the needs of their communities.

NICHI looks forward to advancing the next generation of Indigenous-led housing across the country.”

John Gordon
Chief Executive Officer, NICHI

As global economic conditions continue to change, Métis Nation British Columbia is aligned with the Government of Canada’s focus on advancing what is within our control through the implementation of Bill C-39, the Building Canada Strong Act.
