    Interest to participate:

    The MMS is conducting Land Use Studies and developing the Ta'n Gespe'gewa'gi Tliango'tesnen (TGT) which translates to "How we take care of the land." The TGT is a land use plan that will assist in evaluating and guiding development in Gespe’gewa’gi and focus on the well-being of our land, resources, and water. Gespe’gewa’gi has been our home since time immemorial, and the TGT encourages our people to use and occupy the territory, as it is our right as Mi’gmaq people.
