Aanii M’Chigeeng Community Members,

We are excited to announce an opportunity for you to become an integral part of our upcoming Community Safety Campaign! M’Chigeeng First Nation is on the lookout for community members of all ages and walks of life who are eager to help us promote safety and well-being in our community.

We believe that the best way to represent our community is to feature the real people who live, work, and grow here. From our respected Elders preserving our traditions, vibrant youth bringing fresh perspectives, to our diligent health workers, devoted parents, local business owners — we want you to help us shape our safety campaign.

Here’s what we need from you:

  • A willingness to be photographed and/or filmed as part of our campaign materials.
  • An eagerness to promote safety and unity within our community.
  • Signed model release form granting us permission to use your image/likeness in our campaign.

Here’s the exciting part: every community member who participates will be entered into a draw to receive one of five $50 Freshmart gift cards!

If you or someone you know would be a great fit for our campaign, please get in touch. Let’s work together to make M’Chigeeng a safer and more connected place to live. Remember, our community’s strength lies in the people who call it home.

For more information, please contact me via email, communications@mchigeeng.ca or by phone at (705)377-5362 ext. 240. I’m looking forward to hearing from you!

Miigwetch,

Natalie Edward
Communications Officer
