Listuguj Comprehensive Community Plan, 2015
LISTUGUJ, GESPE’GEWA’GI, MI’GMA’GI, MARCH 24, 2022 — The Listuguj Mi’gmaq Government (LMG) is excited to announce an investment of 1.3 million to build and develop the Listuguj Mi’gmaw Language & Cultural Community Center.
The Listuguj Mi’gmaw Language & Cultural Community Center, also known as the Turtle Lodge, is a community-driven project that seeks to provide a centralized public space for Mi’gmaw language and cultural resurgence in our community.
“The development of the Listuguj Mi’gmaw Language & Cultural Community Center is a true milestone for Listuguj. In 2019, community members told us they wanted a dedicated space to practice our language, cultural teachings, and ceremonies. Through this project, we hope to be able to make language and culture more accessible to community members and complement existing language and culture programs our community has to offer” – Chief Darcy Gray
The LMG is a successful applicant to the Cultural Spaces in Indigenous Communities Program Funding and has been awarded 1.15 million from Crown-Indigenous Relations and is investing $150,000 in own-source revenue towards to project. The project is being spearheaded by our Mi’gmaw Language Revitalization and Culture Project Coordinator and Capital and Infrastructure Department.

Here is the Government Operations Centre (GOC) briefing on the weather conditions that are forecast for the next few days.
Listuguj, Gesgapegiag, Gespeg, Ekuanitshit, Nutashkuan, Unamen Shipu, Pakua Shipi : A system will affect the eastern part of the province on Saturday and Sunday. Up to 20 to 30 cm of snow in less than 24 hours could be received on the Gaspé Peninsula, the Lower St. Lawrence and the North Shore and up to 40 cm on the Lower North Shore. Winds will increase during the night from Saturday to Sunday and will be at their strongest on Sunday. Widespread gusts of 70 km/h and up to 100 km/h for the northern Gaspé and Blanc-Sablon will affect these areas. The winds accompanying this significant snowfall will create widespread zero visibility conditions, which may last up to 12 hours. The tip of the Gaspé Peninsula and the Lower North Shore could receive freezing rain. Heavy snow could cause power outages, weak structure collapses, and road closures.
Pedestrian traffic must be kept to a minimum as heavy equipment will be busy keeping roads open, traffic and parking of cars in parking lots should be kept to a minimum, bring pets indoors, and to keep vigilance on elders and last but not least, preparation for power outrages.
We hope everyone to be safe during these weather conditions.
