The RRMVD has developed a National Archive of Red River Métis Veterans with the following objectives:
Document and archive our Red River Métis history;
Identify past and current needs of Veterans and their families;
Inform Veteran-serving organizations and internal departments on best practices to meet the needs of Red River Métis Veterans;
Allow the RRMVD to establish strong, respectful relationships with Veteran Citizens and their families so that their government can advocate on their behalf; and
Serve as a tool to connect with our Citizens, by involving and engaging them with research efforts, Veteran-specific programming, and community networking events.

Red River Métis Veterans Archive

To date, there have not been any studies or surveys conducted to identify the number of Red River Métis Veterans in Canada, let alone to determine what services would be most beneficial to this demographic. To gain an in-depth understanding of our Veterans' contributions and sacrifices for our country, the RRMVD has established a national Métis Veterans Archive of Red River Métis Veterans.

The Métis Veterans Archive will document the experiences of Red River Métis Veterans, active service members and their loved ones before, during and after serving in the Canadian Armed Forces. We will be collecting stories of modern-day Veterans, as well as those who already passed to preserve their legacies and fill the gaps in Red River Métis history. By building relationships with our Veteran community, the RRMVD will be able to identify the current challenges that our heroes and their families face, in order to connect them with the services and supports to meet their needs.
