Cleansing the Metis Nation

As I mentioned in a previous post - Alberta grassroots Metis have the ability to take action and ensure integrity in the leaders who represent them.

Posts were sent to me by the Alberta community and we have edited to fit within the confines of the blog. We will put smaller pieces of the post so that it will be easier to understand. The first post is in relation to the meetings that are being hosted and the bylaws that are being identified in the action.
