2024-2049 Comprehensive Community Plan
Potlotek’s 2024-2049 Comprehensive Community Plan envisions a thriving, united future grounded in Mi’kmaq traditions. It addresses key priorities like health, housing, education, economic growth, and cultural preservation. With goals to build prosperity, improve governance, and protect the environment, this plan reflects the collective voice of the community, focusing on long-term growth and unity.
Today is National Indigenous Water Operators Day.
From our friends at www.facebook.com/watermovement.ca:
'Water is life, but for many Indigenous communities, access to clean, safe drinking water is a daily challenge. National Indigenous Water Operator Day (NIWOD) was created to honour the water operators who overcome immense obstacles to ensure their communities have access to this vital resource.
Held every year on March 21 — the day before World Water Day — NIWOD reminds us that before celebrating water, we must first celebrate those who make it safe to drink.'
