ABOUT WILL GOODON
Will Goodon has built a career with a combination of community service & entrepreneurship. Tutored by his parents to look for opportunities in business, Will also seized the calling of working for the Metis Nation in the Metis Government in various capacities. Partnering with his father, Will is an owner of the Canadian & Killarney Wilderness Inns in southwestern Manitoba. In June 2014, Will was elected to the Metis Government in Manitoba - the Manitoba Metis Federation - as a provincial representative for the Southwest Region. President Chartrand has subsequently appointed him as Minister of Housing & Property Management. He was reelected in 2018 & 2022. Will was instrumental in the recognition of Metis harvesting rights in Manitoba. In 2004, he shot a duck in SW Manitoba & was charged by provincial conservation officers. The court case lasted 4 1/2 years & in the end, Will was found not guilty because his harvesting rights were protected by s.35 of the Constitution Act. Will lives on an acreage south of Brandon, Manitoba with his partner, Kelly, & their dogs. In his spare time, he spends his days at the log cabin the built in the Turtle Mountains, hunting & cutting firewood.
