Making sure to reap the benefits of emerging industries. Four Mi'kmaw bands form a development group

Four of the Mi'kmaw bands in the Port au Port - -Bay St. George area are working together with the goal of making things better. There's a lot of interest in that part of the province now, with wind energy and salt mining just two of the industries on the horizon. The new Four Directions Mi'kmaw Development Group wants to ensure that Indigenous communities are consulted and get the maximum benefit. The consortium includes the Three Rivers, Flat Bay, St. George's, and Benoit First Nations bands. Chief Jasen Benwah is the chief of the Benoit First Nation.
