Listuguj Mi’gmaq Government Approves Financial Administration Law

 

October 15th, 2018, Listuguj, QC – Listuguj Chief and Council, with continued commitment to improving governance and financial practices, approved the Listuguj Financial Administration Law. Working with the First Nations Financial Management Board (FNFMB), the LMG will work towards full implementation of the law, including reviewing policies, procedures and practices to improve accountability to the community. This law replaces the Financial Administration By-Law, allowing us to take further control over our own finances and strengthen our commitment to transparency and improving financial management.

Under this Law, the Listuguj Mi’gmaq Government, should the LMG chose to do so, will be able to apply for 10-year grant funding from Indigenous Services Canada and allows for more borrowing options through the First Nations Finance Authority.

“We believe that through this commitment to implement improved financial practices and reporting to community that it will strengthen community members’ confidence in the LMG, and the many community driven initiatives we have under way. No doubt there’s a long way to go but we are certainly on our way,” said Chief Darcy Gray.

PRESS RELEASE

 

Listuguj Mi’gmaq Government Proposes a Solution for Campbellton Memorial Civic Centre Leisure Cards

 

October 12, 2018, Listuguj, QC – The Listuguj Mi’gmaq Government has proposed a solution in regards to the implementation of leisure cards at the Campbellton Memorial Civic Centre.  The LMG will contribute $20,000 on behalf of all Listuguj members to the Civic Centre pending the creation of a management committee on which the LMG will have at least two seats.

 

Listuguj members will still need to register for a card, but they will not be charged.  This does not provide exemption from registration fees, any other associated user fees, ticket prices, etc.  If the City of Campbellton accepts this proposal, a process will be implemented to reimburse members who’ve already purchased leisure cards.
