Membertou elders & youth participate in Kluskap
Legends tour for third year
On July 13, the
Membertou Elders were picked up
at the Heritage Park and taken by
bus to Mountain Vista where they
boarded the Puffin Express, a 37
foot long Cape Islander tour boat at
Bird Island Boat Tours in Big Bras
D’or.
MEMBERTOU, NS-
The first stop was at Kluskap’s caves
where the Membertou Youth had
gathered at the shoreline after making the hour long hike to the cave
location. At that time the motor
was shut off and Shaylene Johnson
played the hand drum and chanted
a song.
The next stop was Bird Island where
INDEX
the Elders got to see grey seals, atlantic puffins, razorbills, bald eagles,
great blue heron, black guillemot,
great black-backed gulls, herring
gulls and black-legged kittiwakes.
Information was given about each
species by Captain Vince and his
First Mate Ian. The boat tour took
approximately 2 ½ hours from start
to finish exploring both sides of
Bird Island before heading back to
shore.

NOTICE TO COMMUNITY REGARDING MEMBERTOU’S ANIMAL CONTROL BY-LAW
Membertou has had an Animal Control By-Law in place for several years. This by-law was passed out of concern for the safety of our community members, and children in particular. Some of the highlights of the by-law
include a ban on pitbulls and penalties for dog owners who allow their dogs to roam free. There has been an
increase in complaints of dogs roaming throughout the community and so we have asked the SPCA to step up
their patrols. If you see a dog on the loose, please call the SPCA at (902)539-7722. It is an automated phone
system so please listen to the options. Pressing “1” will connect you to an animal control by-law officer.
We have also introduced a tag system which will allow us and the SPCA to track dogs and better allow us to enforce the ban on pitbulls. It can also help re-unite lost or roaming dogs with their owners. The by-law calls for
the collection of a fee for the tags but the Council has decided to waive the fee with the hope of getting as many
dogs registered as possible. We will be contacting you in the coming weeks to have your dogs registered. If you
wish to have your registered now, you can contact Deanna Joe at the Band Office.
We ask all dog owners to mindful of their obligations and to help keep Membertou a safe community.
NEW 4-WAY STOP SIGN
Please be advised that there is now a 4-way stop at the
intersection of Tupsi Drive and Bradley Street.
NOTICE TO COMMUNITY REGARDING THE NEWLY ENACTED
MEMBERTOU SWIMMING POOL BY-LAW: (Membertou Band Code No. 2015-1)
The Council has recently passed a by-law requiring swimming pools of a certain depth to be fully enclosed by a fence. The primary purpose of this by-law is ensure the safety of small children who are vulnerable to the dangers of unsupervised and unenclosed pools.
The new by-law refers to all outdoor swimming pools that are two (2) feet or more in height. If you own
a swimming pool that is this size, or deeper, you are obligated to provide a fence with a gate that fully surrounds the swimming pool. The fence must be a minimum of five (5) feet in height.
This by-law shall be administered by the Safety Coordinator who may enlist the assistance of an Officer of
the Cape Breton Regional Police Services to enforce it.
Violation of this by-law is an offence and is liable on summary conviction to a fine of not more than
$1,000.00 or to imprisonment for a term of 30 days, or both.
The Membertou Swimming Pool By-law was enacted in March 2015 and applies to all Membertou residents and businesses.

POTLOTEK EDUCATION OFFICE: COMMUNITY INFORMATION PRESS RELEASE
CHURCH ALTAR TO BE RETURNED TO CHAPEL ISLAND IN PREPARATION OF ST. ANNE’S MISSION
The altar of Chapel Island will be returned home to Potlotek First Nation in preparation of St. Anne’s Mission
after a 200-year absence. According to Potlotek historian, Lillian B. Marshall, the altar was given to the Mi’kmaw
as a gift in the 1700’s. As the English and French fought during that time period, French churches were burned
to the ground, oral Mi’kmaw history tells us that the altar was moved by the Mi’kmaw several times to protect it.
The altar finally saw rest in 1860 and has been taken care of by the parish of Sacred Heart Church in Johnstown,
since it opened its doors.
A letter of support for the relocation of the altar was sent from the Assembly of Nova Scotia Mi’kmaq Chiefs to
the Diocese of Antigonish and to Parks Canada on this matter.
On June 24, 2015 consent was given to the Potlotek Chief and Council to have the altar returned. The altar was
moved by Parks Canada from Sacred Heart in Johnstown where arrangements to clean the altar have begun.
Parks Canada staff will be returning the altar on July 20th, 2015 where it will leave Parks Canada-Fortress of Louisbourg and begin its journey home. The altar will be returned to Chapel Island (Mniku), also a National Historic
site of Canada, for this year’s St. Anne’s Mission.
A welcoming ceremony will take place on Chapel Island (Mniku) to welcome home the long awaited arrival of
the altar given to the Mi’kmaw by the French on July 20th, 2015 at 12:30p.m, catholic mass to follow at 2:00 p.m.
Everyone attending is encouraged to wear traditional Mi’kmaw regalia and meet the altar procession on Chapel
Island (Mniku). Potlotek would like to welcome all communities to attend and celebrate the historic return of the
altar on July 20th, 2015 from 12:30 pm- 4:00 pm.

DESTINATION MEMBERTOU

Well hello there! We have been busy beavers within
the past three weeks. Here is our first 2015 Destination
Membertou Summer Cruiser update.
We started off with participating in the Multicultural
Parade, hosted by the Open Hearth Park. It was small,
but we had fun and met a lot of great people. We represented the Mi’kmaq culture and Membertou, of course!
We couldn’t forget the Grading Day events for the kids!
We made our way to the Mayflower Mall parking lot,
where there were activities. It was a great way to start
off the children’s summer. We gave out our promo
items, which are bottles, bags and sunglasses. We also
met up with 101.9 The Giant and 103.9 The Eagle’s
Summer Cruiser. We also gave our promo items at
Membertou’s very own Youth Centre, as they celebrated their grading day with a pizza party.
On Canada Day, we went to Peter’s Field where we
enjoyed live entertainment by the Privateers. Later on,
we made our way to Baddeck where the Alexander
Graham Bell museum was offering free admission for
the day. We gave as much promo items as we could.
If you’re not sure what your plans are for Thursday
evenings throughout the summer, the Wentworth Park
has started the Makin’ Waves concert series with live
performances by local bands. It starts at 6 P.M. and
ends at 8 P.M. We attended one so far, but will attend
more in the future. We hope to see you there!
Last Saturday, we attended a Junior Firefighter Competition for Lambert Todd Days in Reserve Mines. Kids
participated in obstacle courses to get a perspective on
what it’s like to train as a firefighter. Taylor, Koty, Amy
and The Coast Summer Cruiser girl volunteered in the
obstacle course as well. Amy came in at first place, Taylor in second, The Coast in third and Koty in forth.

And of course, we can’t forget Sydney’s First Annual
Rib Fest, in which we were the “prime” sponsors of
the weekend event. We gave out promo items, enjoyed
live entertainment, activities and ribs, ribs, RIBS! We
would like to congratulate those who had won, and
thank those who also sponsored the event. We would
also like to thank those who took the time to come
down and enjoy themselves. Rain or shine, it was definitely a good time!
