Mi'kmaw Interested Individuals

You are invited to attend our next Mi’kmaw Tourism Engagement session scheduled to take place tomorrow on Wednesday, April 3rd, 2024 at the Membertou Trade & Convention Centre (JENU Room – Main Entrance – First Floor to the Right) from 10:00am – 3:00pm (with lunch served).

We are hoping to gather more voices around the table in support of Mi’kmaw Tourism being included into the new Provincial Tourism Strategy that is being developed by the Province with Tourism NS and TIANS leading the way. We have asked to have specific sessions for our Mi’kmaw people and partner organizations so that we can have stronger input into the new strategy.

We are also including the importance of who we are as a Mi'kmaw Nation, our culture, our history and the future opportunities for our people and children involving tourism.

We hope that you can join us tomorrow – please share in your networks and social media links! For more info, please reach out to Robert Bernard, NSITEN Executive Director at [email protected].
