UINR Calendar 2016 - Unama`ki Institute of Natural Resources

2016
Unama’ki Institute of Natural Resources
is Cape Breton’s Mi’kmaq voice
on natural resources and the environment.
Forestry, marine science research,
species management, traditional Mi’kmaq knowledge,
water quality monitoring, and environmental partnerships
are among our responsibilities.
Unama’ki youth are one of our most valuable resources.
Their talent and creativity have no boundaries
and their understanding and respect for the environment
are our best hope for a positive future.
This year we asked Allison Bernard Memorial High School
art students to use our just-published Fact Sheets of important
Mi’kmaw natural resources to inspire original creations
for our 2016 calendars. Here is the exciting result!
Check out our Fact Sheets at our website uinr.ca
and get inspired yourself!
