Notice of Appeal – 2020 Listuguj Election

/in ,

The Listuguj Mi’gmaq Government would like to notify the community that we have received notice of an appeal to the Listuguj General Election held on November 7, 2020. The appeal questions the integrity of the vote and, if successful, could impact the results for both Chief and Council.

Within the democratic process, appeals are not uncommon; under the Indian Act, eligible voters and candidates can request an appeal to the Assistant Deputy Minister of Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) within 45 days after the election. Candidates who ran in the November 7, 2020 general election can anticipate a notice of appeal in the mail if they have not received a letter already.

Whereas Listuguj does not have our own Election Code, the appeal will be handled by the Assistant Deputy Minister of Indigenous Services Canada or another delegated member of the department, as per the Indian Act.

Until the appeal decision is made, business will remain as usual. The Chief and Council’s mandate, obligations and commitments to the community will continue.

Important Notice – Mandatory Testing

/in ,

The Listuguj Mi’gmaq Government (LMG) has received a number of calls asking for clarification on mandatory weekly testing to access essential goods and services across the bridge (e.g. medical appointments, groceries, work, etc.).

Listuguj community members and residents CAN continue to cross for essential goods and services without a COVID test. If there are any changes to this measure, our government will inform community members and residents through the official LMG channels.

Chief and Council remain firm in their stance that mandatory weekly testing is invasive, and negotiations with the Government of New Brunswick and New Brunswick Public Health continue.

In the meantime, essential travel once a week is allowed without a COVID test. Also, the LMG is looking to organize information sessions related to privacy rights, which includes the protection of your medical history.

Housing Communication Initiative – House Number Registration

We plan on having them installed this summer.  There will be an announcement on LMG’s website, Facebook and the local radio stations for the date we will start the installation process.

Starting Monday, March 1, applications will be available for the community at the following locations:

  • The Band Office
  • Natural Resource Building

  • LMG Website, download here

Friday, March 26th is the deadline to have your application submitted. If you have any questions please call (418)788-3022. If you fill out a digital application, you can email it to Lisa.Johnson@listuguj.ca.
