Provincial Education

Minister: JoAnne Remillard
Associate Minister: Joan Ledoux

The Manitoba Métis Federation's Provincial Education department is facilitating the creation of a province-wide strategy on education. The goal is to ensure that support is provided to Red River Métis students at all levels of education beginning with K-12 right through to post-secondary education. To accomplish this the Red River Métis Education Strategy Working Group has been formed, composed of internal and external education stakeholders.

Post-Secondary Education

The Manitoba Métis Federation (MMF), the National Government of the Red River Métis and the Government of Canada signed the Canada-Metis Nation Accord, through which the MMF is investing $90 million over ten years in support of Red River Métis post-secondary education. We are striving to close the post-secondary education attainment gaps between Red River Métis students and non-Indigenous Canadians through the delivery of a wide range of supports. This will contribute to the success of students and to the broader strategic outcomes of self-government and self-determination. The multi-layered approach of providing supports and financial aid to students strengthens their education and social and economic outcomes and contributes to life-long learning and success of Red River Métis students.
