Have a Heart Day is observed each year on February 14 to support First Nations children and families and to call for equitable access to the services they need, when they need them, without delays or jurisdictional barriers.
❤️ ❤️ ❤️
NSMTC staff took part in Have a Heart Day by wearing red and pink and signing valentines to the Minister of Indigenous Services Canada. We collected more than 80 cards as part of the national campaign, each urging the government to fully implement Jordan’s Principle.

2026 Atlantic Indigenous-Led Energy Symposium
September 22 to 24, 2026
📍 Saint John Trade and Convention Centre
Saint John, New Brunswick
Mark your calendars and join us in Saint John this September!
The 2026 Atlantic Indigenous-Led Energy Symposium marks our 5th year of convening First Nation leadership, utilities, government, industry, Elders, Knowledge Keepers, innovators, and youth to strengthen partnerships and advance Indigenous leadership in the energy sector.
🌿 “From Tradition to Transformation: Indigenous Knowledge Guiding our Energy Future”
Under this year’s theme, we will amplify the Seven Generations mindset and reinforce the connectivity and teachings of our past in shaping our collective energy future for the betterment of the next generations.
More important than ever, we will create space to listen and learn from our Elders and Knowledge Keepers while continuing to balance economic growth with cultural and ecological integrity.
✨ Last year’s symposium was widely described as a standout experience. Participants praised the meaningful sessions, strong connections, and thoughtful execution that made the event both impactful and energizing. The momentum continues to build.
As we celebrate five years of growth and collaboration, we are planning what we intend to be our strongest symposium yet.
➡️ More details on registration, accommodations, and sponsorship opportunities will be shared in the coming weeks.
➡️ If you're excited about AILES 2026, take note! KWE – The Gathering is happening May 11-13 at the Delta Hotels Beausejour in Moncton, NB. Hosted in partnership with the NSMTC, KWE – The Gathering is an Indigenous-led event with a focus on nuclear. Visit nikutik.ca to learn more.
