The Métis Nation–Saskatchewan (MN–S) Veterans Ministry is here to advocate on behalf of our brave Métis people who answered the call to military service in defense of our country and her allies.

The Ministry will work closely with our government partners and Veterans Affairs Canada to ensure that our Métis men and women are remembered for their service, are compensated accordingly and are commemorated.

MN–S hosted a private ceremony for Métis veterans and their families on Indigenous Veterans Day, November 8, 2022.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

Response: We will remember them
