The Métis Nation of Alberta (MNA) has released the second phase of its province-wide action plan in response to the COVID-19 outbreak.
The additional supports include an extra $1.8 million — provided by the federal government — to help MNA citizens amid the pandemic.
That funding will be divided between the MNA’s six regions in Alberta to top up supports in key areas of need for Métis Nation citizens, including housing, family and child care support. “Through this pandemic, our goal has been clear, to ensure no Métis Nation citizen or family is left behind,” MNA vice-president, Dan Cardinal, said. “With this second wave of supports, we’re continuing to ensure the security and wellness of all Métis in Alberta.” [ Sign up for our Health IQ
