Annual Report 2015-2016 Final Reduced.Pdf Qalipu First Nation The Qalipu First Nation exists to achieve the advancement of our people. We do this through being spiritual, accountable, professional and progressive.

In the 60 years that passed before recognition was achieved in 2011, the caribou people had roamed far and wide. Qalipu (Pronounced: ha-lee-boo, Meaning: Caribou) is a vibrant Mi’kmaq First Nation established in 2011 as an Indigenous Band under the Indian Act. With some 24,000 members spread across many communities both on the island and abroad, we are one of the largest First Nation groups in Canada. Qalipu has no reserve land; it is made up of 66 traditional Mi’kmaq communities, spread out over 9 Electoral Wards. An elected Chief and Council govern the Qalipu First Nation. Ward Councilors are elected to represent each of the nine Wards. Additionally, two Vice-Chiefs represent western and central Newfoundland and the Chief is the official spokesperson and leader of the Qalipu First Nation as a whole. Qalipu has three satellite offices located in Glenwood, Grand Falls-Windsor, and St. George’s and its central administrative office is in Corner Brook. These offices give representation to the regions of our dispersed Mi’kmaq communities. Core programs and services are delivered by a growing body of staff. Our service offering includes education and training, health benefits and services, employment programs, registration assistance, environmental monitoring, culture and heritage and community economic development. Qalipu also conducts a variety of special programs which vary from year to year. Economic and Corporate development are led by the Qalipu Business Trust Committee which is comprised of representation from Council, senior staff and members at large. The Committee, along with the Qalipu Business Network, and the Mawio’mi Business Forum, represent some of the avenues where relationships are built and partnerships are formed with industry and other stakeholders to foster Band prosperity and growth. Get to know us better by exploring our website, Qalipu.ca, or spending time with us at National Aboriginal Day and other celebrations that are shared on our events calendar. 3 Message from the Chief-Brendan Mitchell Kwe’ On behalf of Council, Executive and initiatives.

  • Kittiwake/Gander-New-Wes-Valley Region
    Regional Profile of the Kittiwake Region May 2013 Prepared by: Janelle Skeard, Jen Daniels, Ryan Gibson and Kelly Vodden Department of Geography, Memorial University Introduction The Kittiwake/Gander – New-Wes-Valley region is located on the north eastern coast of the Island portion of Newfoundland and Labrador. This region is delineated by the Regional Economic Development Zone (Kittiwake) and the provincial Rural Secretariat region (Gander – New-Wes -Valley) (Figure 1), which have closely overlapping jurisdictions. The region consists of approximately 119 communities, spanning west to Lewisporte, east to Charlottetown, and north to Fogo Island (see Figure 1). Most of these communities are located in coastal areas and are considered to be rural in nature. Only six communities within the region have a population of over 2,000, with Gander being the largest community and the primary service centre for the Kittiwake region. Approximately 20 percent of the regional population resides in the Town of Gander (Rural Secretariat, 2013). The region also encompasses three inhabited islands that are accessible only by ferry: Fogo Island, Change Islands, and St. Brendan's (KEDC, 2007, p.2). Figure 1. Map of Kittiwake/Gander-New-Wes-Valley Region Figure 1: Gander – New-Wes Valley (Map Credit: C. Conway 2008) Regional Profile of the Kittiwake Region Page 2 of 14 Brief History The region’s history is vast. Many of its communities have their own diverse histories, which collectively paint a picture of the past. Aboriginal occupation is the first noted settlement in many parts of the region. Research suggests that 5,000 years ago, what we now call Bonavista Bay was inhabited by Aboriginal peoples who benefited from the region’s abundance of resources such as seal, salmon and caribou.

    Maw-pemita’jik Qalipu’k Pronunciation : [Mow bemmy daa jick ha lee boog] Meaning: The Caribou are travelling together Qalipu’s Monthly Newsletter January 2016 Warm Welcome at St. John’s Native Friendship Centre Following an early morning meeting in St. John’s, Chief Mitchell and Jonathan Strickland, Manager of the Qalipu Natural Resources Division, decided to spend some time visiting the St. John’s Native Friendship Centre before their flight back to the west coast. The visit and subsequent tour turned out to be an eye opener for both; they have returned home full of praise for the centre, and the many cultural, employment, recreation, business and health related programs and services that this place has to offer. The Native Friendship Centre started out with a group of volunteers, offering a few basics programs, in the late 1970’s. At that time, home-base was a small office at Memorial University. It wasn’t until 1983, that the St. John’s Native Friendship Centre was legally established as a non-profit organization. Since then the centre has opened its doors to include the non-native community, has expanded and outgrown several buildings, and has come to employ 20 full time permanent staff, along with many more volunteers. “We didn’t call ahead,” laughs Jonathan, “but, two of the centres lead staff (Natasha McDonald and Briannah Tulk) welcomed us in to their office for an overview of the centre and the work they do. After we chatted, they brought us around for a tour. It’s hard to believe how much is happening there.” Something that stuck with Jonathan was the hostel and community kitchen.

    Newfoundland and Labrador Arts Council Annual Report 2016-17 MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR As Chair of the Board for the Newfoundland and Labrador Arts Council (NLAC), I am pleased to present its annual report for the fiscal year 2016-17. The annual report is submitted in accordance with the obligation as a category three entity under the Transparency and Accountability Act, prepared under the direction of the Board, which is accountable for the actual results reported. Sincerely, Stan Hill Chair 1 OVERVIEW Background The NLAC is a non-profit Crown Agency created in 1980 by the Arts Council Act. Its mission is to foster and promote the creation and enjoyment of the arts for the benefit of all Newfoundlanders and Labradorians. A volunteer board of 13 people appointed by government, reflecting regional representation of the province, governs the Council. Council members serve on a volunteer basis for a three-year term. There is five full-time staff (three male/ two female) employed by the Arts Council. As a Crown Agency, the NLAC operates at arm's-length from the Provincial Government. The primary function of the NLAC is to develop and administer grant programs for professional artists and arts organizations, community groups and schools. Currently the NLAC achieves this through seven funding programs: 1. Sustaining Program for Professional Arts Organizations 2. Annual Operating Program for Professional Arts Organizations 3. Professional Project Grants Program 4. Community Arts Program 5. Professional Artists’ Travel Fund 6. School Touring Program 7.
