As the Master of Metis Fiddle, recipient of the Order of Canada and huge provider for the community, this would be wonderful!

John Arcand has been vital to keeping the traditions of Métis culture alive. His efforts to preserve traditional Métis style fiddle are unmatched, he fits the name “Master Of The Métis Fiddle” entirely.

Renowned Métis fiddler John Arcand is a force. This would be a small but powerful step toward reconciliation

The Master of the Metis Fiddle - naming an avenue after John would be a terrific way of honoring and recognizing his achievements.

We should not be honoring our colonial and racist history of the Metis Nation and Treaty 6 territory

In the spirit of reconciliation this ave should be renamed to really honour a real Métis who has maintained and nurtured the Métis traditions and way of life. He is truly a notable Saskatchewan Métis deserving of this recognition.

Overdue to make this change. We cannot change the past but we can change what we choose to honour.
