Minister: Shawn Nault

Led by Veteran Minister Shawn Nault, the Red River Métis Veterans Department (RRMVD) was established to recognize the immense contributions made by Red River Métis Veterans and their loved ones, identify their needs, and assist them in accessing culturally appropriate supports to improve their overall well-being.

Our mission is to develop and improve support for our Red River Métis Veterans and ensure that their stories and legacies are honoured and recognized year-round.

The RRMVD is led by Veteran Minister Shawn Nault and is advised by a working group of Veteran Cabinet Ministers including Veteran Jack Park, Veteran John Fleury, and Veteran Andrew Carriere.

Background

Over the 20th century, Métis Veterans were never identified from their non-Métis brothers and sisters in arms. There were no opportunities to self-declare Red River Métis ethnicity upon enlistment in the Canadian Armed Forces; therefore, there are very few historical records of the contributions and sacrifices of our Red River Métis heroes. As Indigenous people, this lack of recognition also created significant challenges for our Veterans upon return from service. Many Red River Métis Veterans did not receive the support and benefits afforded to their non-Métis counterparts due to significant jurisdictional neglect towards Métis soldiers.
