Bay St. George Mi'kmaq Cultural Revival Committee |
|
Mandate
The purpose of the Bay St. George Mi'kmaq Cultural Revival Committee is to enhance the awareness of Mi'kmaq Cultural harmony and strengthen cultural co-operation in Bay St. George.
Background
In 2005 a number of Bay St. George stakeholders attended the Miawpukek First Nation's annual Powwow. Through discussions it was felt that the time was right to hold a gathering in the Bay St. George area to give the Mi'kmaq people an opportunity to gather and celebrate their culture and heritage. After consultation with the other stakeholders within the Bay St. George region, it was felt a meeting should take place with the hope that a traditional Powwow gathering of the people could become a reality. Twelve individuals attended the initial meeting and the Bay St. George Mi'kmaq Cultural Revival Committee was formed.
Committee Role
The committee will oversee the planning, development and other strategic aspects of the Bay St. George Mi'kmaq Cultural Celebration 2006. They will
facilitate community and stakeholder input into the planning process through direct stakeholder contact and communication. In fulfilling its mandate the committee will provide and develop proposals and seek funding to implement the Celebration 2006, while providing a mechanism for sharing and disseminating information to stakeholders, partners, and other interested bodies. Delivery of timely reports to the appropriate funding sources will also be undertaken.
