MembershipWelcome to the Métis Settlements Land Registry
Who we are
The Métis Settlements Land Registry is operated by the Government of Alberta as a service to the Métis Settlements.
Under several pieces of legislation, the Métis Settlements Land Registry keeps and administers land interests in the eight Settlements in Alberta, as well as maintains the official Settlement Members List for the Métis Settlements.
What we do
When a person obtains an interest in Métis Settlements land from a Métis Settlement Council or another Settlement member, they can have the interest recorded and registered with the Land Registry.
When a person is approved as a member in a Métis Settlement and the Settlement Council advises that they are authorized to be on the Settlement Members List, the Registrar with the Land Registry places their name on the List.
How we work
The structure and operation of the Métis Settlements Land Registry is similar to a provincial land titles system in western Canada. However, the types of land interests and transactions managed in the Land Registry are significantly different from other jurisdictions.
The rules and processes for membership in the Settlements is primarily governed by the Métis Settlements Act.
