Photograph of "The Heart of the Métis" by Cree artist Gary Natomagan. The "Heart of the Métis Awards" were established to recognize the valuable contributions of Métis people who work to better their communities throughout Saskatchewan. In 2005 "The Guide" award was presented to Karon Shmon. As a growing population, many Métis receive guidance and assistance from the often hardworking staff of Métis organizations. This award recognizes the tremendous, yet often unsung, contributions of a staff person. The recipient shall have demonstrated not only compassion and understanding, but firm guidance to young employees. |
