Communications

Communications is part of our everyday life.  Sharing information is also integral to good governance.  With effective communications, community members can be informed about LMG mandates, policy development, as well as any governance concerns or issues. Moreover, it is important for community members to access accurate, reliable and up-to-date information about the programs and services administered by the LMG Directorates.

In August of 2010, under the direction of Chief Allison Metallic, a Communications Committee was established comprised of LMG staff members as well as community volunteers.  Since its establishment, the committee has met regularly to discuss and develop a communications’ strategy.  Our objective is to develop a plan to communicate with our members in an effective, educational and informative manner utilizing existing communications tools.

Communications Project – LMG Website 

The Office of the Chief and Council oversaw the revitalization of the LMG website.  The objective for the site is that it will serve as a beacon for the Listuguj Mi’gmaq Government, reflecting LMG priorities, its plans for all program and service areas, current policies, and political events.  Additionally, the goal is to share information about Mi’gmaq culture and history.  A Working Group was established comprised of LMG staff members, summer students, and web development professionals. Work on the LMG website began in July of 2011, and the launching took place in December of 2011.
