😁Dedication of Bay du Nord area as an Indigenous Protected and Conserved Area
The Natural Resources department would like to invite community members to join us as we move forward in the work toward dedicating the Bay du Nord area as an Indigenous Protected and Conserved Area.
A small gathering will be held at Indian Point in the Bay Du Nord Flord. This gathering is intended to be a meaningful and enjoyable opportunity to:
Discussion on the cultural, historical, and spiritual importance of the area to Indigenous peoples.
Spend time together on the land and reconnect with the wilderness
Share stories, knowledge, and experiences
Why protecting Bay du Nord Fjord is important for future generations.
Enjoy a meal and fellowship together.
Discuss the importance of conservation and stewardship and how our community can take part
How Indigenous knowledge and community voices can help guide the protection and stewardship of this special area.
Share ideas and perspectives about the future of the Bay du Nord area.
Most importantly, this will be a time for community, culture, connection, and celebration as we recognize the importance of protecting a place that has supported our people for generations.
It is also important to note that this evet will be filmed.
Everyone is welcome to share their knowledge, ideas, questions, and hopes for the future of Bay du Nord Fjord.
The Natural Resources department has limited space for boat transportation to and from, but we welcome the public to drop by using their own boats at their own risks.
Come join the conversation and help us explore how we can work together to care for this important place.
Boats will be leaving the Launch at 11:00 AM, Sunday, August 30th.
Please prepare for outdoor elements (sunscreen, bug repellant, hat) and bring along a camping chair if you can. 😊
