The board and staff have much to be proud of and this is an agency that truly makes a difference for our people.” BC Métis Federation President Henry added; “The signing reinforces the need for leadership in the BC Métis Federation to work as advocates and policy development that enhances the services of agencies like Kikino Métis Children and Family Services.
