Dear Citizens of the Rocky View Métis District,

It is with both humility and a deep sense of responsibility that I share with you that I have accepted the role of Deputy Captain for the Rocky View Métis District.

This transition comes following the passing of our respected leader, Amber Boyd. Amber’s dedication, strength, and unwavering commitment to our citizens and our Métis Nation have left a lasting impact on our district. I step into this role mindful of her leadership and with great respect for the foundation she helped build.

I will serve in the capacity of Deputy Captain on an interim basis supporting the leadership of our district until a new District Captain is formally elected in accordance with our governance process.

Serving our community during this time is an honor. My commitment is to ensure continuity, stability, and open communication as we move forward together. I will continue to support our citizens, uplift our culture, and work collaboratively to advance the priorities that matter most to our families, youth, and Elders.

In this role, I will focus on:

• Ensuring transparent and open communication
• Supporting cultural programming and community gatherings
• Advocating for the needs and voices of our citizens
• Building strong partnerships that benefit our district

Our strength as Métis people has always come from our resilience, our kinship, and our shared responsibility to one another. I look forward to walking alongside you as we continue this important work together.

Please feel free to reach out to me directly with your thoughts, ideas, or concerns. Your voice matters, and I am here to serve.

With respect and gratitude,

Adrian Pruden
Deputy Captain
Rocky View Métis District
