008- Regional Administrator, Region 5

Métis Nation of Ontario•Sudbury, ON

3d•Hybrid

About The Position

The Regional Administrator plays a key role in the smooth operations of the Mattawa/Ottawa River Métis Community and its Community Councils, most especially as it relates to the development of Self Government. The MNO workplace culture is full of potential ready to be unlocked. As our Self-Governance agreement materializes, we are building a workplace culture of action, responsibility, and most importantly a desire to serve the Métis community. When defining what MNO culture is, it’s difficult, because of our diverse leadership styles, and the different programs and services offered. What that really means is there is a place for almost everyone under the MNO employer umbrella. We recognize people are different, and that is our source of strength. We bring opinions together, welcome healthy conflict, and look to always find answers, not problems.
