Thanks to the hard work of our employees and the collaboration of our many partners, we have successfully implemented many different programs, ranging from the training of Crees for skilled jobs with Hydro-Quebec (over 50 Crees now occupy permanent positions), the rejuvenation of Cree community and family fisheries, the support of numerous cultural activities including summer gatherings and the enhancement of goose hunting facilities. This is not to mention the hundreds of kilometres of snowmobile and ATV trails already built throughout Eeyou Istchee.
On its 20th anniversary, Niskamoon Corporation salutes The Nation magazine and wishes it many more years of success and positive change.

In Brief
Video contest for Quebec’s English-speaking youth
Are you an English-speaking Quebec high-school student between the ages of 13 and 18? If so, the Quebec Community Groups Network and CBC invites you to create a 2-3 minute video sharing what you feel represents your community, your roots, cultural heritage and identity for the My Quebec Roots Video Contest. The finalists will be chosen by public vote and the winners selected by a panel of judges.
Post your videos at myquebecroots.cbc.ca, for the chance to win either an iPad 2, an iPod Touch and a $50 CBC gift certificate. The deadline to apply is April 30.
