The Manitoba Metis Federation is looking for support to get a well-known Winnipegger nominated for the Order of Manitoba.

Kai Madsen has worked with the Christmas Cheer Board for almost 50 years.

In a release, Manitoba Metis Federation president David Chartrand said, “Kai is a shining light in the community. His dedication to all the people of Winnipeg is a gift and he deserves to be formally recognized for his continued efforts over these past several decades.”

A formal nomination will be submitted in the New Year. In the meantime the Manitoba Metis Federation is looking for signatures of support. Signatures are due by Jan. 22, 2018.
