CONGRATULATIONS!
MSGC Executive we’re deeply saddened to learn that long-serving Council member and Elder Archie Collins from Elizabeth Metis Settlement passed away earlier this evening in hospital. His leadership spanned decades and his impact across our communities is deep.

Here is an interview from about a year ago where Archie talks about the book project with CBC Edmonton.
