Pitu’paq Partnership Society Request for Proposals

Pitu’paq is a group of municipal government and Mi'kmaq leaders that collaborates on issues of environmental concern related to the Bras d’Or Lake. The Society formed as a committee in 2001 and then formalized as a society in 2007 and includes representatives from all five municipalities and all five Mi’kmaq communities in Unama’ki, Cape Breton. Pitu’paq creates a table where local leaders can discuss concerns and ideas to improve the prosperity of the people, animals and environment in and around the Lake. Pitu’paq is the Mi’kmaq word for Bras d’Or meaning “to which all things flow” which evokes complex systems of the Lake.

The Pitu’paq Board of Directors has a need for support for both administrative and project/partnership management. Please review their Request for Proposals for these services by visiting the link below:
