Message from Chief Jenny – July 4, 2025

Posted by Qalipu on

Congratulations to all as summer begins and the school year ends, I want to share that this will be my last weekly message until the fall. I offer my praise and appreciation to our dedicated staff and council for their hard work throughout the year. It is a gift to work with them, for you each day. My messages are inspired by you all and supported by their hard work.

My next two months include meetings with the Assembly of First Nation (AFN) Chiefs in areas of Child Welfare, Fisheries and Economic Development. I will also be presenting at the First Nation Financial Authority (FNFA) Annual General Assembly on the acquisition of New Dock. We are proud to be invited to share our successes with other First Nations across the country.

Wela’lin for following along and engaging with us regarding the many important issues that we face as a nation.  As your Chief, I enjoy writing to you, and I am grateful for those that have shared with me that they look forward to reading them each week. Given our vast geographical separation, we must be creative in how we communicate.

I look forward to reconnecting with you in the fall, refreshed and ready to continue our important work together. In the meantime, we will certainly stay in touch through our website and social media.

May this summer provide us opportunities to meet in person. I hope to see you and your families at our many cultural events happening throughout Mi’kma’ki and along our beautiful hiking trails and coastlines.

As we continue to monitor the recent wildfire near Badger, please keep those affected, the surrounding communities, and first responders in your thoughts and prayers.

Until then, congratulations to all graduates and thanks to everyone that supports their educational journey.  Let this summer cover you in sunshine and fill your heart with Mi’kmaq pride.
