As Métis people, we have generations of traditional knowledge, insights, and experiences grounded in our culture and respect for the land.

Anyone who is passionate about climate leadership and wants to advance and shape a more sustainable future is encouraged to attend. Join to share perspectives, learn, and pave the way forward as we explore the profound connection between Métis people and the land—and the importance of Métis-led solutions.
