Climate change is changing the lands and waters that sustain Métis communities.
That is why longstanding Métis values of conservation and preservation matter. In 1994, the Métis Nation of Ontario’s Founding Delegates Assembly made conservation a guiding principle for harvesting negotiations. Today, that same principle serves as a reminder to protect ecosystems and to respect sustainable harvesting.
