Capital and Infrastructure Temporary Program
Capital and Infrastructure would like to announce a temporary program to assist with costs of labour and repairs for applicants who do not currently qualify for the Repairs Policy. This is a one-time extraordinary measure that may be cancelled and is limited by our repairs budget and available resources. The Capital and Infrastructure’s housing department may provide assistance for either materials OR labour for projects of no more than $5,000. Homeowners will be solely responsible for providing oversight for the project and hiring the contractor or workers.
Elders’ repairs will be prioritized. Applicants will be served on a “first-come, first-serve” basis until limited budget is spent.
THE DEADLINE TO SUBMIT AN APPLICATION IS:
September 25th, 2020
To apply to this program, contact REPAIRS at 418-788-3022. You will need to describe the scope of the repairs. This program does NOT cover aesthetic work and is not applicable for applicants with arrears.
Garbage Removal Notice
Capital and Infrastructure would like to remind the community that all household waste going in the LMG black bins must be in bags. Loose items in the bins will not be picked up. This is due to the temporary malfunction of the garbage truck.

Community Notice – General Contractors
As the warmer weather approaches, we realize a number of homeowners will begin making general repairs to their homes. To minimize the potential spread of COVID-19, contractors from outside of Listuguj will not be permitted entry into the community. However, this does not apply, if you are unable to find a contractor to suit your needs in the event of an emergency.
All community members are encouraged to find contract workers within Listuguj, to minimize the potential spread of COVID-19. If you require immediate repairs (i.e. emergency amenities like plumbing or electrical) and are unable to find a contractor within our own community hire as needed subcontractors from low risk areas within Quebec or New Brunswick.
When arranging for repair work on your own home, here are the steps we ask that you take:
- Hire a local contractor.
- If you have to hire an outside contractor, the following guidelines must be followed:
- Choose a contractor from a low risk area;
- Only (1) contractor is allowed to work at a time;
- Minimise your contact with the contractor, and try to avoid the contractor going into your house unless the work requires it;
- The contractor crew should be no more than (4) workers for the whole project and they must comply with LMG safety regulations, in addition to, federal or provincial regulations;
- Contact Ali Barnaby at the Executive Office by calling 418-788-2136 or via email at ali.barnaby@listuguj.ca to provide the name of your contractor and the dates they will require access to the community.
Capital and Infrastructure Update
As a result of the Listuguj Mi’gmaq Government closure, Public Works will be doing garbage pick up on Mondays and Thursdays only from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Please try to reduce your curbside garbage during this time.
