Annual General Assembly 2023

The Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) Annual General Assembly (AGA) is Métis self-government in action. Every year, leadership from Métis communities in Ontario and MNO citizens gather to make their voices heard, review the success of the previous year and set a direction for the next year. This year, the 2023 AGA will be held in Ottawa, ON from August 17 to 20, 2023 at the The Westin Ottawa.
