Our snow crab fishery is in full swing. On behalf of Council and the Listuguj Mi’gmaq Government, I’d like to wish a safe and prosperous season to our snow crab harvesters. Wela’lieg to our fishers for their contributions to community.
The Listuguj Mi’gmaq Government is pleased to announce that the first episode of our new radio show, Agnutamaqan, will air on CHRQ today, April 7th, at 11:00 a.m. If you miss it, the show will be replayed on Friday, April 9th, at the same time.

The Listuguj Mi’gmaq Government extends its prayers and sympathies to the Elsipogtog First Nation as a whole and specifically to the families of the fishers who have experienced trauma and loss following the capsizing of the FV Tyhawk fishing boat off the coast of Cape Breton. Chief Gray, Natural Resources Director Dr. Fred Metallic and our CEO will be following this matter closely.
