It is with heavy hearts that Chief and Council extend our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to the family and loved ones of Savannah Metallic, a cherished young member of our community, whose life was tragically cut short this past weekend.
This loss has touched our entire community, and we share in the grief and sorrow that has fallen upon all who knew and loved Savannah. In moments like this, we are reminded of the importance of coming together as a community to support one another with kindness, compassion, and strength. Our thoughts are with the family as they grieve this unimaginable loss.
We are committed to ensuring that the necessary services and resources are available to help our community navigate this difficult time. We encourage all community members to reach out for support if they need it.
With deepest sympathy,
Chief Scott Martin and the Council of Listuguj

Exciting Update: All Payments Now by Direct Deposit!
The Listuguj Mi’gmaq Government is making it easier and faster for you to receive payments! To better serve our community and ensure there are no payment delays—especially during potential Canada Post service disruptions—all LMG payments will now be issued through Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), commonly known as direct deposit.
To enroll for EFT, simply fill out an EFT Enrolment form and bring in a void cheque or direct deposit slip (available from every bank). EFT Forms are available from every department, at LMG Reception, as well as via email from EFTinfo@listuguj.ca
The deadline to submit your banking information is May 30th, 2025. This will be the date of the last cheques printed, and payments will not be issued unless the recipient is registered for EFT/direct deposit.
If you’re already receiving payroll, foster care, or social assistance payments by direct deposit, there’s nothing you need to do—you’re all set to receive all other LMG payments directly into your existing bank account. If you wish to have your other payments deposited to a different bank account, simply send us an email at EFTinfo@listuguj.ca to change your information.
Notify the Finance Department of any changes in your banking information ASAP to prevent delays.
Benefits of EFT include:
If you need to update your banking or email details, or have any questions, please contact EFTINFO@LISTUGUJ.CA.
Thank you for supporting this positive change—it’s another step toward a more efficient and responsive community service.
