"We're going to do a lot of projects like this one."

Quentin Condo, Mi'qmaq

A winning combination! The development of the Mi'gmaq cultural village in Gesgapegiag combines the preservation of traditional skills with the development of an authentic tourist experience. With the help of elders and experts, young people from the community make tools and handmade objects that will be presented on the site. Some of them, such as canoes or wigwams, could be rented out to visitors. A project to revitalize and promote the heritage: a winning combination!
