I love seeing this collaboration! Fantastic news!
Today, February 2, we remember Jordan River Anderson.
Jordan was a young boy from Norway House Cree Nation who spent his entire life in hospital while governments disputed who should pay for his care. He passed away in 2005 without ever living at home with his family.
His story led to Jordan’s Principle – a commitment that First Nations children should receive the services they need, when they need them, without delay or jurisdictional barriers.
Today, and every day, we honour Jordan’s life and legacy.
Congratulations to our NSMTC Anqotum Resource Management department on receiving the Aboriginal Aquatic Resource and Oceans Management (AAROM) Excellence Award from the Atlantic Policy Congress of First Nations Chiefs Secretariat. 🏆
The award was presented last week at the 2026 APC Fisheries Conference in Halifax and recognizes outstanding leadership and contributions in fisheries and aquatic resource management within Atlantic First Nations communities.
We're so proud of our Anqotum team and their commitment to community-driven stewardship!
