On July 7, a special tribute honoured Joseph Paquette in recognition of his
many years of service to both the Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) Veterans
Council and the wider Métis community.
The Service Appreciation Lunch was held at the Legion Branch #82 in Port
Credit and provided a space for colleagues, friends and family to come
together, share stories and express their gratitude for the dedication and
leadership Joe has shown over the years.
Also attending Sunday’s lunch were MNO President Margaret Froh and members
of the Provisional Council of the Métis Nation of Ontario (PCMNO), MNO staff
and MNO community members.
In addition to sharing stories, some tokens of appreciation were exchanged,
including the gifting of a special Warrior quilt from the Quilts of Valor
organization.
While celebrating Joe’s contributions over the years and highlighting his
work with Métis Youth, PCMNO Youth Representative Mitch Case took the
opportunity to announce a joint partnership between the MNO Youth and Veterans
Councils which includes the formation of a new scholarship to be named in Joe’s
honour.
In a special presentation, Joe was bestowed with the Order of the Métis
Nation. The Métis National Council's “Order of the Métis Nation” recognizes the
positive impact a recipient has made in moving forward the rights and
aspirations of the Métis.
On July 16, Joe was additionally awarded the Veterans Ombudsman
Commendation Lifetime Contribution at a special ceremony held at the Credit
River Métis community office.
The MNO would like to sincerely thank Joe for the leadership and support he
has provided the MNO over the years. Thanks Joe! Your contributions, mentorship
and service will long be remembered.
