🌿🧺 Mawlugutinej Youth Council Meeting 🧺🌿
This month, the Mawlugutinej Youth Council meeting took place in Ugpi’ganjig First Nation! ❤️

We had the opportunity to take part in a basket-making workshop led by Ms. Montana Nevin. 🧺✨ Montana was kind enough to allow us to host the workshop in her classroom, located by the Health Centre. We are so grateful for her generosity and for sharing her knowledge with our youth! 💚

Ms. Nevin taught the children how to properly hydrate the ash, how to strip and prepare it, and how to determine the different sizes needed to create various baskets. 🌿👐 She provided hands-on guidance throughout the entire workshop, with a little helper by her side — Nala!

Our youth and their parents/guardians really enjoyed this experience. ❤️ It was a very hands-on and time-consuming workshop, so this was the only activity we were able to work on during this meeting — but it was definitely time well spent! 🧺🌿

Thank you again to Ms. Nevin for sharing her time, skills, and knowledge with our youth. We truly appreciate the opportunity to learn and keep these traditional skills alive. 🫶🏽

We’re already looking forward to the next time we can all meet! 😊🌟

Wela’lin to everyone who joined us! ❤️

Office Closure Notice – Treaty Day

In recognition of Mi’kmaq Treaty Day and to honour the Peace and Friendship Treaties, our office will be closed on Thursday, October 1st.

Treaty Day is a time to celebrate Mi’kmaq history, culture, and rights, and to reaffirm the nation-to-nation relationship that continues today. We encourage everyone to take time to reflect on the importance of the treaties and the responsibilities we all share in upholding them.
