About Us

Wolfe Island Métis Charitable Association was incorporated on February 27, 1998 as a non-profit charitable Métis organization affiliated with the Canadian Métis Council.

Wolfe Island Métis Interfaith Church

Wolfe Island is also registered as a Métis interfaith denomination in Ontario. The historic formation of the Wolfe Island Métis Church allows our first licensed minister, Reverend Kathryn Gorman-Lovelady, to perform Métis wedding ceremonies, as well as baby consecrations, and funerals.

Mission Statement

The mission of Wolfe Island Métis Charitable Association is to receive funds and other property and to apply all or part thereof and the income therefrom for charitable purposes which will benefit the members of the Canadian Métis Council. To accomplish this, the following goals will be the focus of our activities:

  1. To relieve poverty of Métis people in Canada by assisting in the indigenous development efforts of Métis communities, including the establishment and continued support of Métis Community Centers.
  2. To advance the education of Métis people in Canada by providing scholarships, fellowships, bursaries, prizes and financial assistance to Métis students, with emphasis on students, who, without financial assistance, might not otherwise be able to continue their education. To provide equipment, furnishings, teaching aids, and supplies to Métis educational institutes.
  3. To promote and advance the cultural and spiritual teachings, and the historical heritage, of Métis people. 
  4. To acquire and hold land for the purposes of community cultural and spiritual activities.
  5. To support purposes beneficial to the Métis community, such as old age care, maintenance and rehabilitation; the promotion of wellness within the Métis population; and the building or acquisition of community health centers.

Statement of Activities

The following is an outline of some of the programs and activities intended for Wolfe Island Métis Charitable Association.
As Métis communities request assistance for families in their communities, assistance will be provided (as funds allow). 
An annual scholarship for post-secondary education will be established for deserving Métis students. 
A Métis interfaith church has been formed and is being supported. 
The acquisition of land for the purposes of community cultural and spiritual activities is a long-term goal, and will depend on bequests. Funding would then be used to maintain these facilities, and to make them accessible. 
A program will be set up to provide coverage for dental care, eyeglasses, and hearing aids, for Métis people in poverty. Programs to educate Métis people about wellness concepts and culture will be initiated by local communities, and funded as requested. The establishment of community health centres is a long-term goal.
