Growing up surrounded a close-knit, extended family who took pride in their Metis heritage laid the foundations for a lifelong commitment to sharing that culture for the 1993 Metis Woman of the Year.
Gayle McKenzie won that award through her hard work and perseverance in fomenting Native culture in Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal communities. Her involvement in organizations for Metis women and children, as well as her caring, steadfast character, has earned her the respect of peers and clients alike.
