The McMurray Métis and Métis Nation of Alberta are standing with the Trans Mountain Pipeline.
During the Métis Nation of Alberta’s general assembly delegates voted in favour of a motion to support the pipeline project as well as Indigenous ownership and equity.
“The McMurray Métis has already participated in various meetings with provincial and federal government officials highlighting the need for Indigenous ownership and equity. With the adoption of this motion by the Métis Nation of Alberta it will only strengthen our position during negotiations in the months ahead,” said Loutitt.
Audrey Poitras, president of the Métis Nation of Alberta said they are very pleased to show strong support for the project.
“The Métis of Alberta are working together to provide a better future for our children and grandchildren. Solid economic investment, including pipelines like the Trans Mountain is the right way to go.”
The resolution was moved by McMurray Métis CEO Bill Loutitt and seconded by Métis Nation of Alberta President of Region two, Karen Collins.
