LISTUGUJ INVITED TO PRESENT ITS AQUACULTURE PROJECT 

On May 8th, the Listuguj Natural Resources Directorate, in partnership with the Raymond Lagacé Public Library in Atholville, will be holding a presentation about our scallop aquaculture operations, geared toward local schools. Organizers are hoping to be successful in bringing elementary classes from Listuguj and Atholville together to attend the presentation.

Maureen Isaac, Manager of the Aquaculture project will bring her Science team to do the presentation and show the different phases of the scallop production, the material used, and a hands-on experience to sew a scallop lantern net. “It’s important to share Mi’gmaq culture and traditional knowledge in a modern-day economy. Tigog or Atholville as it’s called today, is an important part of Listuguj’s history and we are glad that we were invited to do this presentation to a young audience” she said. 

“We’d like to thank everyone who will attend the presentation and encourage our communities to continue learning about Listuguj’s culture and its aquaculture project,” said Kevin Soussana, manager of the library.
