Membertou First Nation and Eskasoni First Nation launch Memski Project Inc.

Membertou First Nation and Eskasoni First Nation have launched the Memski Project Inc., a company that they hope will increase employment rates, identify opportunities with new and emerging industries and identify gaps in the labor force. “By combining our resources, our communities are ready to meet the needs of major projects by providing companies with access to a diverse and capable aboriginal workforce,” said Eskasoni chief Leroy Denny. Community sessions will be held to explain to members how the project will work.
