MNGV Governance

Métis Nation Greater Victoria (MNGV) is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors elected by the community for two-year terms. The Board is composed of Metis Nation of Greater Victoria members with diverse and varying backgrounds: professionals, students, government employees, seniors, business owners, retirees, parents, teachers, knowledge keepers, etc. All Board Members volunteer their time to build the Métis community in the Capital Region.
