Vancouver, BC – The BC Métis Federation announced our first ever membership contest in January 2015 where the individual or partner community or organization that submitted the most BC Métis Federation member applications would win $1000.00. This week BC Métis Federation is pleased to announce that the Skeena River Métis Community Association (SRMCA) from Terrace has won the contest.

Thank you to President Elizabeth Pearce and her board for the efforts. This is a great way BC Métis Federation can reinvest into Métis communities. ”
