A Porcupine Plain man is hoping to remove ‘interim’ from his title.
Brent Digness is one of three candidates in the running to be the regional representative for Eastern Region II with the Metis Nation Saskatchewan (MN-S).
Digness has been the interim representative since September and said he wants to continue his work in the region.
“I really found it inspiring to see the growth that has taken place so far in the region,” Digness told
northeastNOW. “As I’ve been rebuilding it.”
He also worked for Eastern Region II growing up and said through the years he’s learned a lot about the programming that the MN-S offers, and that this region is built from the grassroots people up all the way to the head office. Digness added that he’s learned a lot about those he is representing and those at the main office he would be working with.
A Melfort woman is looking to continue representing her region with the Metis Nation Saskatchewan (MN-S).
Brittany St. Dennis is one of three nominees for Eastern Region II in the race to become the regional representative. St. Dennis has been a youth representative for the region with MN-S and adding in the fact that her father has also been the president for almost three decades, it’s in her blood to continue working with MN-S.
“I’ve always been involved,” St. Dennis told
northeastNOW. “So, my culture has always been part of my life since I was a young girl.”
