Page 3

If you know a Metis youth who you think should have their accomplishments recognized, then the Metis National Council (MNC) would like to hear from you.

The MNC is accepting nominations for the National Metis Youth Role Model Program 2003, but with a nomination deadline of Dec. 16, time is running out.

The program is designed both to recognize the efforts of outstanding Metis youth, and to provide role models to inspire other Metis youth across the country.

Role model nominees must be 29 years old or younger, and must have demonstrated achievement in one of seven recognition categories-Metis culture and heritage, volunteer service, academic achievement, career advancement, athletic excellence, valor, and achievement.
