In a surprise statement, on Saturday, May 31, Lyle Donald of the Metis Nation of Alberta declined his nomination for President of the Canadian Native Friendship Centre in Edmonton. As a result, Martha Campiou was returned as President by acclamation.

"I do like the work that Martha does," said Donald in his withdrawal. "When I listened to my son talk about his experience as a youth member, I decided that I'd like to step aside and put his name forward as a regular member of the Board of Directors. Martha has been a fine representative of the Friendship Centre."
