MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF
Kwe’
I was saddened to hear the news of a terrible tragedy that occurred last night in Conne River. A young woman’s life was taken in an act of violence. I encourage all of you to pray with me for healing and comfort for her family and community who are today dealing with the impact of such a terrible loss.

In this edition of Maw-pemita’jik Qalipu’k we’ve got a lot of great stories and pictures from our communities. Grassroots people are at the heart of our Nation and this is easily seen in the many events, workshops and volunteer efforts that we see happening in our communities. Find some of those stories featured on Pages 7-11.
Qalipu’s election was held on October 23 and our newly elected Council will officially take office in just one week. Find all the details on the Election, an invitation to the Swearing in Ceremony and explore the top three priorities of each member of Council on Pages 4-6.
