The president of the Alberta Metis Settlements General Council (MSGC), formerly the Federation of Metis Settlements, has resigned.
Randy Hardy has decided to run for the chairman's position at the Kikino Metis settlement where he's originally from. Elections for a chairman and four councillors are scheduled for mid-April.
Hardy was elected president of the eight Metis settlements in 1986 and was serving his second term when he resigned.
During his term he saw the establishment of a $310-million funding package for the settlements and the protection of Metis lands entrenched in the Constitution.
MSGC vice-president Arnold Gauchier will oversee settlement affairs until an election for a new president can be held.
