"Flying our flag
on Louis Riel day is fast becoming a custom
at city halls throughout Ontario. That
you and your new Council in Welland were able
to do this in such a short period of time
is testament to the pride of our people in
being Métis and their dedication to
honouring our greatest leader, Louis Riel.
Congratulations on this wonderful achievement.
It is a sure sign that the interests of the
Métis Nation in the Niagara area are
in good hands and I welcome the spirit of
your enthusiasm to see our flag flying at
even more locations in your territory next
year." - Comments by MNO President
