The Métis Nation-Saskatchewan has launched a major COVID-19 vaccination incentive program which incudes $2 million worth of educational scholarships.
According to a press release, all fully vaccinated Métis citizens, or those in the process of applying for citizenship, are eligible to register for the program.
Other prizes for the This Is Your Shot vaccination incentive program include a pontoon boat, truck, snowmobile, laptops, cell phones and various gift cards.
“Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is our shot at getting back to the moments that matter most like time spent with loved ones, attending live events and holding social gatherings,” MN-S President Glen McCallum said in the release. “Our Métis government is offering these vaccination incentives and supports to our citizens to do our part in encouraging everyone to get their vaccine.”
“We need to ensure COVID-19 vaccines are widely available,” MN-S Health Minister Marg Friesen added in the same release. “The Métis Nation-Saskatchewan government continues to partner with the Saskatchewan Health Authority to host vaccination clinics throughout the province during our This Is Your Shot incentive program.”
There is a total of 80 educational scholarships of $25,000 each for students aged 12-30-years-old.
The vaccination program includes an early bird draw, weekly draws and a final grand prize draw at the end of November.
The early bird draw entry deadline is this coming Saturday with grand prize final deadline on Nov. 24.
