A former Metis politician from Buffalo Narrows has decided to run for the presidency of the Metis Nation – Saskatchewan.
Ray Laliberte says the theme of his campaign is Metis rights and community development.
A former treasurer with the MN-S, Laliberte says he believes change is needed within the organization and he is the man for the job.
Some of the other priorities he is running on include Metis hunting and fishing rights, boarding school compensation and housing.
Laliberte was recently elected as the new chairman of the Northern Lights School Division Board.
Incumbent leader Robert Doucette and Beauval resident Alex Maurice have also declared their intentions to run.
The province-wide MN-S vote will be conducted on May 30th.
