How are we working together?
Métis Nation BC completed consultation with Métis people through their Chartered Communities on the development of the Métis Justice Strategy in 2019. Métis Nation BC and the Province engaged on an initial implementation workplan to assess what resources would be required to advance the Métis Justice Strategy. Further provincial engagement will be undertaken to support the development of the implementation workplan. Additional consultation will be completed as required during the implementation of each recommendation in the Métis Justice Strategy.
Are there challenges?
Funding for the implementation of the Métis Justice Strategy is still being explored and is necessary to ensure timely implementation.
Highlights
The Métis Justice Strategy received provincial endorsement in June 2024. The Métis Justice Strategy was developed following community engagement with the then 38 Métis Chartered Communities. The Strategy seeks to address the overrepresentation of Métis people involved with and impacted by the justice system. The Indigenous Justice Secretariat and Métis Nation BC will be working with provincial partners to develop an implementation plan ahead of proceeding with implementation efforts.
