On behalf of Manitoba Public Insurance, I want to share my condolences on the sudden and tragic passing of Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs (AMC) Grand Chief Cathy Merrick.
A devoted and compassionate leader, Chief Merrick’s work and advocacy to improve the lives of First Nations people and the communities she represented was an inspiration to so many, including myself.
As the first woman to be elected as AMC’s Grand Chief, her legacy as a trusted voice on issues that matter in our province and country will be deeply missed and always remembered.
My thoughts are with her family, friends, community and all those who were touched by her incredible life.
