I have been a member of the Chilliwack Métis association since 2014 and president from October, 2015-October 2017. 

My great, great grandfather was Isadore Dumont Jr. He was Gabriel Dumonts oldest brother. During the battle of Duck Lake, Isadore and a Cree headman were killed by a NWMP interpreter. These were the opening shots of the 1885 resistance.

As President of the Chilliwack Metis Association my vision is to engage the membership in a common quest....

Together we will build a vibrant, self sustaining, family oriented Métis community and cultural center using Métis culture, education, social enterprise and strong family values as the building blocks.

United we can do this!
