Are you a Listugujewaq artist/artisan? Listuguj Tourism is launching this survey to learn how to best meet the needs of artists/artisans and create a positive impact in the community through arts and culture. Would you be interested in becoming part of a network or directory? This network would be to connect artists to opportunities, promote collaboration, voice any needs, create new projects, etc. The artist directory on the LMG website also needs to be updated, so we can connect artists with various opportunities, whether it be funding, events, or other projects.
Here’s the link to the google form: https://forms.gle/LttZnSe5Qxtc8DMV7

The Listuguj Mi’gmaq Government wishes to advise motorists that there will be lane reductions on the JC Van Horne Bridge for maintenance work during the following period:
During this period, one lane will be kept open at all times in alternating direction. Motorists can expect short delays. These closures will not impact cyclists or pedestrians; one sidewalk will remain open at all times. The schedule may change depending on weather conditions.
We encourage everyone to exercise caution when travelling on the bridge and thank you for your patience.
The governments of New Brunswick and Quebec will be loosening their COVID-19 measures over the next few months if their situations continue to improve gradually. As these measures may impact Listuguj residents, please consult the following documents:

As for Listuguj, our position is as follows:
Travel (essential or not) to and from other Regions within the Province of Quebec does not require any type of self-isolation upon return to the community. This applies to overnight travel within Quebec – as an example, travel for day surgery or a medical appointment. However, non-essential travel from ‘yellow’ into other colored regions is not recommended.
Individuals/community members travelling home to Listuguj would also be exempt from self-isolation according to the Provincial guidelines.
However, individuals travelling into Listuguj from other Provincial hotspots outside the Atlantic Bubble and Quebec (i.e. Ontario/Manitoba) must self-isolate upon entering our community.
All ‘international travel’ restrictions still apply. Self-isolation, testing, follow up by Public Health and Border Services.
