Last Friday, Grant Lacombe, Secretary of Culture and Harvesting and Citizens’ Representative for the Lesser Slave Lake Métis District, spoke with CTV News about the Otipemisiwak Métis Governments’ ongoing efforts to restore the original name of St. Paul.

“There’s a lot of people who don’t know about St. Paul des Métis because it was kept in the closet,” says Lacombe.
