MN-S Kicks off Registry Month with Grand Opening of Genealogy Centre
February 3, 2010 (Saskatoon, SK) –February is Registry month for citizens of the Métis Nation – Saskatchewan. Today, the MN –S is pleased to announce its Grand Opening of Saskatchewan’s newest Genealogical and Archival Research Centre, located at 406 Jessop Avenue, Saskatoon. The development of an objectively verifiable MN-S Citizenship Registry is vital to the credibility of the MN-S and the sustainability of our citizenship.
“The Grand Opening today symbolizes the continuing reestablishment of the Métis Nation Saskatchewan as a legitimate third order of government which will lead to the realization of our self governing aspirations as a positive, productive contributing sector to the Province and this great country.” says MN-S President Robert Doucette.
The Genealogy and Archival Centre will assist those in tracing their family roots and preserving parts of our history that in the past have been lost. To assist those, there is a Genealogist and Assistant Genealogist onsite should anyone require help in tracing family lineage. The Registry will formalize and clarify citizenship requirements, aid in the accurate return of statistical data on Métis citizenship, and provide a basis for improving quality of life for all Métis people in Saskatchewan.
