métis nation of ontario CANOE EXPEDITION

MAY - AUGUST 2017

as part of the Métis Nation of Ontario’s (MNO) contribution to the commemoration of the 150th anniversary of Confederation, the MNO is staging another exciting MNO Canoe Expedition. This summer a group of modern Voyageurs, following historic fur trade routes, will travel the length of Ontario to educate Ontarians and Canadians about Métis contributions to Canada and the continued role of Métis people and communities in the contemporary social, cultural and political realities of Ontario and Canada.

The 2017 MNO Canoe Expedition is both an once-in-a-lifetime adventure and the best summer job ever! While immersed in the great outdoors,

Métis youth selected for the Expedition will learn about their culture and heritage and share their amazing journey both with communities along their route and with MNO citizens everywhere through social media. Within a few months the MNO will be looking for proud Métis youth who are ready to challenge themselves in an epic canoe trek; ready to connect Métis communities with their past and future; and ready to learn skills that will help them secure future jobs and advance their careers.

Summer jobs as part of the MNO Canoe Expedition will be posted on the MNO website in the coming months. We will be looking for one expe-rienced Expedition Guide as well as a communica-tions member, a crew of paddlers/presenters and two ground support personnel.
