Listuguj Community Greenhouse Survey Contest

/in , ,

In order to encourage building a stronger and more sustainable economy for Listugujewaq for the next seven generations to come, Listuguj Mi’gmaq Government is implementing a food sovereignty initiative by introducing the Listuguj Greenhouse Project. This will extend the current Listuguj Community Garden’s capacity to provide nutritious and organic sources of produce from seasonal to all year-round.

This sustainable agriculture initiative is the first step to addressing food insecurity within Listuguj by maintaining food self-sufficiency using green energy sources. Whether it be by encouraging community members to learn how to grow their own food through workshops, facility tours, and distributions by subscription food boxes and produce donations.

The SurveyMonkey questionnaire created below for the Listuguj Greenhouse Project will be used to gather important information and insight in regards to the intended produce to be grown, learning opportunities, community activities, & typical household grocery budget.

Paper versions of this survey can also be picked up at the post office & the completed surveys can be dropped off at the Listuguj Mi’gmaq Government’s Administration Reception.

COVID-19 Vaccine Available to Listuguj Youth

/in , ,

Based on the efforts of Chief Darcy Gray, all Listuguj students will have an opportunity to return to in-class learning in New Brunswick. To ensure that our students are engaged in week-long in-person learning, LETE will be maintaining support services at the hub for students’ on-line learning schedules (A/B School Calendar).

The Government of New Brunswick has indicated that they wish all students, aged 16 to 18 to be vaccinated. We recognize the health benefit of such a position and, as a result, will be offering vaccinations to all Listuguj students aged 16 to 18.

Listuguj has been successful at securing access to the Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. The delivery of the vaccines will be coordinated through the Listuguj Community Health Services (LCHS) through their partnership with Quebec Public Health.

Two weeks following the date of the vaccine clinic, New Brunswick will permit all student to return to in-person learning according to their in-class schedules (A/B School Calendar)

Informed consent is an important aspect of any vaccination strategy. We encourage folks to consult their health care providers or health care professions at the LCHS. For additional information on the Pfizer vaccine, please review the attached Pfizer BioNTech vaccine information sheet.
