President’s Report: ​The most significant development in relation to Metis affairs occurred on April 14, 2016, when the Supreme Court of Canada announced its decision in relation to the Daniel's Case. The Court ruled that, under section 91(24) of the Constitution Act of 1867, the Metis and non-status Indians are Aboriginal people (“Indians”) within the legislative jurisdiction of the federal government.

AAMS PRESIDENT’S REPORT By Paul D. Tufts 

​Please be advised that, for the sake of space, this report will be mostly confined to a listing of AAMS activities during the 2015 calendar year. A team of 15 Directors held 10 Board meetings to serve 1130 registered members and 450 Facebook participants. Other than regular business expenses, our greatest financial contribution has been to support our Treaty affiliation with MFC (Metis Federation of Canada) in the amount of $ 10,000.00, plus fundraiser auction items, for its efforts as Intervener in the Daniel’s Case to seek recognition for the Acadian-Metis and other Metis across Canada. Other contributions have been to offer three $ 500.00 bursaries to AAMS students and to sponsor a female member who entered the Miss Canada competition. Although AAMS Directors function without remuneration, some business trips required financial assistance.
