We're looking for sponsors for the 17th Annual Mi'kmaq Confederacy of PEI Golf Tournament! ⛳

This event is more than a day on the golf course – it's a celebration of Mi'kmaq culture, Community, and connection. 🪶

By becoming a sponsor, your organization demonstrates its commitment to reconciliation and meaningful partnerships with Indigenous communities.

Tournament proceeds also support sport, recreation, and physical activity opportunities for Mi’kmaq and Indigenous youth across Epekwitk (PEI), creating lasting impacts that extend well beyond the tourney day! 🧡

Interested in becoming a sponsor? View our sponsorship opportunities or contact us at [email protected] to explore ways we can work together.

Last week our Integrated Resource Management Team visited Abegweit First Nation for another successful E-Waste Pick-Up! 📺 🪫🗑️

A huge thank you to everyone who gathered their old or broken electronics and batteries for proper disposal and recycling! 🙌

Every device kept out of the landfill is a win for our Communities and our environment. 💚

MCPEI’s Solid Waste Program reflects our ongoing commitment to implementing reduce, reuse, and recycle strategies within First Nations Communities, with a focus on minimizing our environmental impact for generations to come. 🌿

June 21st is National Indigenous Peoples Day 🧡

🪶This is a day to recognize and celebrate the unique heritage, diverse cultures, and the important contributions of the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples.

🌞2026 Marks the 30th anniversary of this important National day, which is observed annually on the summer solstice. For many Indigenous Peoples, the solstice carries deep spiritual and cultural meaning as a time of renewal, connection, and celebration.

What a wonderful weekend at the Annual Mawio’mi at Abegweit First Nation! 🪶🥁

Gloomy weather couldn't dampen the energy of this vibrant celebration of Mi’kmaq culture! 🧡

There were amazing displays of drumming, dancing, art, and ceremony that brought people of all ages and backgrounds together to celebrate community and culture.

Congrats to Abegweit First Nation for hosting another fantastic event! We were honoured to be part of it and can't wait to do it again next year.
