The purpose of Métis Nation of Greater Victoria is to provide services, events, and representation for the Métis community in the Capital Region and reestablish and strengthen family, community, and cultural ties for Métis people.
The Métis Nation of Greater Victoria (MNGV) was established in 1990 and is the local organization representing Métis People in BC’s Capital Regional District. Our community stretches across the Southern tip of Vancouver Island: from Port Renfrew to Oak Bay, Metchosin to North Saanich, and includes the Southern Gulf Islands, West Shore Communities, and East Sooke. There are more than 1,400 MNGV members and approximately 6,500 Métis identified through the 2021 Census in the CRD region.
As people living on these territories, Métis Nation of Greater Victoria acknowledges and offers heartfelt appreciation to the First Nations of the region (see below), past and present, who have been stewards of this land since time immemorial and continue to share their vibrant communities with those of us who are fortunate to live here.
