President David Chartrand of The Manitoba Metis Federaton, told a radio audience last weekend that the MMF harvester cards helped in a case where pickerel was confiscated by conservation officers.
Chartrand related a story where a couple were fishing and had 15 fish confiscated by the officers.
The fishers presented their MMF accepted hunting and fishing membership cards but the officers did not recognize the cards as a viable license. The fishers then reportedly contacted the MMF and Chartrand where the President then went swiftly into action....and action he received !!
After talks with the premiers office, the confiscated catch was actually delivered to the fishers all the way from Grand Rapids, Manitoba. The president of the MMF also stated that the Premier even issued an apology.
With this turn of events, can we safely say that the NDP have made an about face in regards to Metis Hunting Rights ??
...oh yeah, three cheers for the MMF's harvester card program !!

I hear rumors that the Harvester card is being recognised as far north as the Saskatchewan river. If anyone knows anything about how true this rumor is please reply. It would be nice to get an update on the MMF website every so often.
Plastic membership card lead an organization in a business better and increase production of the product.
