/in ,

On Monday, April 27, 2020, Quebec Premier François Legault announced elementary schools and daycares will reopen starting May 11, 2020 in regions less impacted by COVID-19, outside of Montreal.  On Wednesday, May 13, 2020 at a Duly Convened Chief and Council meeting, Chief and Council made a motion to delay the opening of the Mawo’ltijig Mijjuaji’jg (Child Care Centre) until June 1, 2020. While the Listuguj Mi’gmaq Government continues to monitor the COVID-19 status in Listuguj, the date for reopening the Mawo’ltijig Mijjuaji’jg (Child Care Centre) is tentative and will be reassessed prior to the official reopening date.
