Making Batoche a welcoming place for all Métis citizens has been a top priority for Autumn Laing-LaRose, who serves as president of the provincial Métis youth council and Minister of Youth for MN-S. “It felt like our wedding day,” said Laing-LaRose. “Being up there and having the blanket wrapped around us in front of everyone, it gave me the same feeling that I had when we made our vows.
