Qalipu Mi'kmaq First Nation Band: News [Federation of Newfoundland Indians, FNI]

Dear members, first and foremost, I hope that each and every one of you is experiencing good health and that you have had an enjoyable summer. I am pleased to announce that I was elected as president of the FNI by acclamation at the FNI's35th Annual General Assembly held on September 18th and 19th in Grand Falls-Windsor. Also elected by acclamation were Mr. Terry Mills as vice president for central Newfoundland region and Chief Kevin Barnes as vice president for western Newfoundland. The youth representative on the FNI board Ms. Kristina Duffy was also elected by acclamation. The 35th AGA was indeed successful, informative and pleasant for all in attendance. The executive, board of directors and staff of the FNI look forward to serving its members as it did in the past and are enthusiastically prepared to take on all future challenges that will improve the social, economic and cultural growth of the Mi'kmaq people it represents and all those who will become the responsibility of the organization.
