Dear Editor:

The summer has come to an end with numerous activities held in our community over the summer. The Youth and Elders Sharing Knowledge workshops were successful and as a result there will be additional workshops planned throughout the year. There has been many suggestions of activities the participants are interested in and this has resulted in additional workshops to be planned. Thanks to the organizers who made the summer activities successful from the camps, workshops, community trips, powwow and summer games. Good luck to all the students who will be continuing their studies after a busy summer.

Two business projects have begun and showing the progressive steps our community provides. The community wind project is taking shape while Felix Evolution Motorsports has begun construction next to Cineplex and welcome to Chad and Chris Felix to our Truro Power Centre.

With the full support of the council I have negotiated with the Cape Breton Chiefs to include Millbrook as a host community and arranged to have our community to be the next host, August 18 to 23, 2015 Millbrook will be hosting the Mi’kmaq Summer Games. The planning will begin with the first meeting held on September 11 from 6 to 9pm to set up a committee and begin the planning process. There will be a job posting for an event Coordinator soon as a job description is finalized. There will be volunteers needed to assist with each event and sign up sheets will be developed ...
