The Métis Nation of Ontario is inviting local residents to an open house at its Whitby office on April 23, 2026, to learn more about programs and services available to the community. The event will take place from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at 209 Dundas Street East, Suite 106.
This office serves as the home base for the Oshawa and Durham Region Métis Council, which has represented local citizens since 2004. Attendees at the open house will have the opportunity to meet staff, connect with other community members, and gather information on the support services offered at the location. An RSVP is required for those planning to attend.
The Whitby office provides a range of health and wellness resources, including the Family Wellness Program and the Healthy Babies/Healthy Children Program. These initiatives focus on areas such as healthy parenting, early childhood development, chronic disease management, mental wellness, and the prevention of addictions. The office is open for regular business Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and features a wheelchair-accessible entrance via Green Street.
As a recognized Indigenous government, the Métis Nation of Ontario represents approximately 33,000 registered citizens across the province. The organization maintains the official registry for Métis rights holders in Ontario and has worked to strengthen its self-government status through agreements with the federal government signed in 2019 and 2023. Local community members interested in more information may contact the office by emailing [email protected] or calling 416-453-1052.
