Good Morning Community Members!

The 2026 Atlantic Policy Congress honored two Mi’gmaq individuals from Listuguj at its Fisheries Conference in Halifax on January 29. The Natural Resources Directorate (NRD) would like to congratulate Dave Martin and Kristy May Barnaby and share their words with the community.

Dave Martin: Excellence in Aquaculture

“It is an honor and a privilege to receive this award; it’s an important recognition for our community. Listuguj is home to the largest scallop farm in the Province of Quebec, and it continues to expand every season. Scallop farming is more than a business; it’s a positive financial contribution to our community.

This award belongs to the team: Cody Guitard, Tammy Duguay, Nathan Duguay, Eric Bujold, and his sons. I couldn’t do it without them. I would also like to thank the Listuguj Fisheries administration for their guidance, patience, and contributions over the years. Through hard work and initiative, anything is possible. It is paramount that those who can lead, lead by example.

For those who would like to be a part of this rewarding endeavor, I invite you to speak with Listuguj Fisheries to see if this is the right path for you. If you enjoy life on the water and the hard work that comes with it, this is the job for you.”

Kristy May Barnaby: Young Fisher of the Year

“First, I would like to thank the Natural Resources team for nominating me for the ‘Young Fisher of the Year’ at the 2026 Atlantic Policy Conference on Fisheries.

I feel so honored to receive this award. I had an incredible opportunity working with an amazing crew during last year’s snow crab and lobster seasons, which allowed me to learn so much.

My experience on and off the boat gives me hope that the younger generation won’t be afraid to join the ranks. I loved being out on the water, connecting with Mother Nature, and experiencing the different environments.”

Attention Community Members!

During the week of February 2nd to the 6th there will be multiple sessions being held throughout the day for specific community groups to help develop a long-term strategic plan with the Listuguj Community Social Services Directorate.

Attention Community Members.

Chief and Council, alongside The Listuguj Mi’gmag Government, would like to extend our deepest condolences to the Wysote family on the passing of former Councillor Nellie Wysote, beloved wife of former Chief Jack Jegops’n Wysote.

Nellie was a respected elder, educator and community leader. Some of the contributions to the community include

· Education and Language: Collaborated as a lesson developer for the Learn Mi’gmaq Initiative, working with the Listuguj Education Directorate and McGill University to preserve and teach the Mi’gmaq language

· Land-Based Learning: She was instrumental in founding Nipugtugewei (Forest Kindergarten) at Alaqsite’w Gitpu School.

· Community Leadership: Under the administration of former Chief Brenda Gedeon, Nellie served as a Councillor from 1994 to 1996. Nellie was often involved with community events

We’d like to take the time to acknowledge and honour the late Nellie Wysote, who passed away on January 13, 2026. Nellie will be remembered for her strength, kindness and the love she shared with her family and the community. Her support alongside her late husband Chief Jack Jegops’n Wysote leadership was deeply valued, and her legacy will continue through the lives and memories she leaves behind.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Wysote Family during these difficult times.

With respect and sympathy,

Chief and Council
