Loretta Calliou, Elected Secretary

Loretta Calliou was born and raised on the Paddle Prairie Metis Settlement, her grandparents Joe and Maggie Calliou arrived in the late 1930's.  As the Elected Secretary, Loretta's portfolio looks after Programs and Services, such as Health, Education and Safe Communities.

Loretta relocated to Edmonton about ten years ago to work and further her schooling.  Prior to joining Metis Settlements General Council, Loretta was working for Aboriginal Relations.  Her many years of work experience combined with her education background assist her in fulfilling her role as Elected Secretary.

Loretta is the proud parent of three children, Tyrel, Talon and Ceara.  So far, her work with Metis Settlements General Council has been challenging and rewarding.  It is a pleasure to work for the Settlements and a great opportunity to be a part of change that will try to ensure our Settlement members enjoy the same benefits that all Albertans do.
