Join us in honouring those who have served so bravely in times of war and in peace. Today we remember and honour the bravery and sacrifice of our Métis Veterans, and all veterans who have sacrificed for our country. #Métis #MétisCrossing #WeRemember

World War II: The Government of Canada does not ha

World War II: The Government of Canada does not have an accurate number of how many Métis men and women served in WWII, "it has identified at least 3,000 First Nations members, including 72 women - enlisted, as well as an unknown number of Inuit, Métis, and other Indigenous people. The actual numbers were... much higher". Like all other aboriginal Canadians who served, the Métis people did not receive the same veterans' benefits that other Canadians received when they returned. In September 2019, the Canadian Government issued an apology to the Métis Veterans.
