Tough Day at the Office

On the shores of beautiful Whitefish Lake, near the pow wow grounds, on a sunny afternoon, Jennifer David took part in and helped to facilitate the Atikameksheng Anishnawbek Comprehensive Community Plan (CCP) workshop #5. It was a tough day at the office.

Vivian Naponse, CCP Coordinator with Mamaweswen
 and Ben Buckwold, Dalhousie University

Atikameksheng is participating in a regional CCP development exercise, coordinated by the Mamaweswen, the North Shore Tribal Council and developed by the Cities and Environment Unit at Dalhousie University.

 
Jennifer has been helping with coordination and logistics for Atikameksheng.

The workshop gave community members the chance to talk about some of the projects they want to see in their community in the future and looked at maps of the territory. The afternoon was capped off with an excellent feast, particularly the fried pickerel, one of Jen's favourites!

Jennifer then stayed on in Atikameksheng for a couple of days to work on another project with the community; assisting with communication policy development.
