The Memorandum outlines four specific areas for the Firearms Office and the Métis Nation-Saskatchewan to collaborate on.
On Saturday, the Government of Saskatchewan signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Métis Nation-Saskatchewan to advance firearm safety and education.
The Memorandum outlines opportunities for partnership between the Saskatchewan Firearms Office and Métis Nation-Saskatchewan, such as promoting firearms licenses and raising awareness about the importance of firearms safety.
“We are proud to sign this agreement with Métis Nation-Saskatchewan to promote public awareness of firearms safety and to continue Saskatchewan’s strong tradition of responsible firearms ownership,” corrections, policing, and public safety minister Paul Merriman said.
“This agreement plays a crucial role in recognizing and preserving the cultural and historical practices of hunting and trapping.”
The Memorandum outlines four specific areas for the Firearms Office and the Métis Nation-Saskatchewan to collaborate on including:
“This Memorandum of Understanding is another tool that we can use to continue to cultivate recognition and understanding of our distinct culture and ways of living,” Métis Nation-Saskatchewan president Glen McCallum said.
“As Métis people we know the importance of harvesting in a responsible manner, and I look forward to how this collaboration will build good relationships.”
Under the Memorandum, the Firearms Office will also be exploring a potential funding agreement of up to $50,000 to establish a community educator position to promote firearms licensing, safety and training for Métis Nation-Saskatchewan citizens.
