‘This is bigger than all of us’: MN—S Directors demand restoration of seats
Shouts of “Métis Strong” filled a small, crowded room at Prince Albert’s East End arena Thursday morning, where a press conference, organized in part by two re-elected representatives from Métis Nation—Saskatchewan Western Regions 2 and 3, was held.
Two days have passed since Sherry McLennan and Wendy Gervais were denied entry at the MN—S swearing-in ceremony at Dakota Dunes Casino in Saskatoon, after they were re-elected to the Provincial Métis Council (PMC).
The reason provided by executive is because both women are currently suspended from their duties following the outcome of a harassment investigation.
“The complaint was the culmination of the ongoing harassment of the PMC’s sole employee, MN–S Chief Executive Officer, Richard Quintal (“CEO”) by McLennan, Gervais, and two other previously-elected individuals,” read an MN-S statement issued Thursday.
