To the Proud Citizens of District 5 – Calgary Nose Hill Métis Community
I am Kevin Metz, a dedicated Métis citizen from our vibrant district, and I am seeking your VOTE to serve as District Captain for Calgary Nose Hill. As we continue building the Otipemisiwak Métis Government, your voice is vital in this election process. If you're passionate about amplifying our voices, please reach out today through the contact form below or through our facebook page.
My Métis journey began in elementary school, captivated by the stories of our ancestors' resilience and spirit. Twenty years ago, i learned that my paternal father was Métis, for me this brought a sense of understanding as to why i saw the world the way i did. Telling me why nature, animals and my own sense of spirit were so strong within me. Today, at 52, I carry that pride as a father to two incredible daughters—a 20-year-old pursuing her dream of becoming a teacher at university, and a 10-year-old exploring the world with wide-eyed wonder. I've been married for 30 years to my unwavering partner, who reminds me daily of the strength in our family and challenges me to grow a little every day.
Professionally, my life has been about service and connection. In management and negotiation roles across business, especially when I served as a business coach as President of the Corporate Group of Allied Associates (CGAA), I've honed skills in communicating effectively and building bridges—qualities I've been encouraged to bring to public office before but those moments never resonated with me, it was the call of our Otipemisiwak elections that truly ignited my resolve.
Representing District 5 isn't just a role; it's a way to honor our shared heritage while tackling real issues like accessible education for our youth, cultural revitalization through community events, and advocating for Métis rights in urban Calgary, Caring for our Metis elderly, bringing awareness to environmental stability and sustainability through our Harvesting rights.
As your District Captain, I commit to ensuring every voice in Nose Hill is heard, all decisions and directions will be made with ONE collective voice, YOURS!
This is our future—shaped collaboratively, with transparency and unity. I truly want to hear from you: What matters most to you and your family? Let's talk about how we can strengthen our district together. With your VOTE and support, we can make it happen.
Thank you for your time and trust. Contact me at kevin@metisunity.ca or through the contact form and social media links below to share your thoughts.
In solidarity and gratitude,
Kevin Metz
