Mi'kmaw Conservation Group — Fri, 26 Apr 2019 16:37:04 +0000

We live in one of the most important times in terms of opportunity that exists to repair the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in this country.

Canadian Roots Exchange is working to connect Indigenous and non-indigenous communities through the Youth Reconciliation Initiative program, a free seven month program that provides rising leaders from all sectors and communities with opportunities to be trained and lead conversations on reconciliation in their communities, and build a more diverse network while driving impact in their peer groups.

We need a country that places youth in leadership positions to advance reconciliation – apply to the Youth Reconciliation Initiative! Applications are open until May 30, 2019

Atlantic Sturgeon vs. Shortnose Sturgeon – Do you know the difference?

Atlantic and Shortnose Sturgeon was an important resource for the Mi’kmaq, when their population was plentiful. Sturgeon species provided not only a food source but oil and leather as well.

DFO heard from fishers that a sturgeon ID card would be useful to assist in reporting sturgeon catch or bycatch by species (Shortnose vs. Atlantic). Let them know if you have any feedback or needed revisions by contacting Ree Brennin Houston at 1-902-426-6048.
