[2] The MNBC claims to represent over 27,000 registered members in addition to over 98,000 self-identified Métis in the province, which are divided into 39 'chartered communities' with the state mission of advocating for Métis rights in the province, and providing programs and services to its members.

[2] In 2021, the MNBC faced criticism from First Nation's in the province for their assertion of constitutionally protected aboriginal rights outside of the traditional Métis homeland.

The MNBC was established as a society on 23 October 1996 as the Métis Provincial Council of British Columbia.

[4] In 2006 they signed the Métis Nation Relationship Accord with the provincial government, which would focus on health, housing, economic opportunities and education.

[8] On November 30, 2024, the MNBC voted to withdraw from the MNC completely, citing concerns that the Métis Nation of Alberta, as the sole remaining founding member, held the absolute majority, therefore feeling they weren't represented.
