Honour Our Métis Veterans

Beginning in 2003 and again last year, it’s become a tradition to shine a spotlight on our Veterans whether it be World War 2, the Korean War or serving in peace time. Last year for example, you’ll recall we honoured Larry Wilson McElrevy of Vancouver, Robert Berard from Edmonton, Walter Schoenthal from the Queen city of Regina. Eugene Dejarlais of Lake Heron in Ontario and of course, John Cadeau from the strong Metis Community of St. Laurent, Manitoba. Métis National Council President Clém Chartier and Minister of Social Development David Chartrand also recognized retired Major Ed Borchert who has served the past few years as spokesperson on behalf of the National Métis Veterans Association.
