Why Work Together?
“We are excited to participate in this historical initiative with our neighbors at Mossey River Municipality. For generations, our communities shared resources and today we acknowledge that working together to address our shared economic challenges will strengthen our relationship with the local and regional economy and move our communities forward.”
- Councillor Nelson Nepinak
“We are excited to form a relationship with our neighbors and partners, Skownan First Nation. Being chosen one of eight partnerships in Canada to participate in this program is truly an honor. We strive to work towards establishing an effective collaboration that will strengthen our communities and reignite the historical relationships of the past. We look forward to building our local economies and identifying ways that we can continue to progress forward achieving mutual prosperity. We are prepared to put forth our best efforts and work together as one to make this venture a success!”
