Cassidy Caron was elected in 2021 as the youngest person ever to lead the organization, which represents Métis groups in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario. She said she is proud of her work and she is leaving behind a "strong, functioning and ethical organization," despite recent infighting.The council was most recently thrust into the spotlight over a federal bill that seeks to recognize the self-government of Métis groups in Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan.

The outgoing leader says she will continue to serve her community in different ways after the next election, which is to be held Sept. 26 in Saskatoon.
