Wolastoq Grand Council is hosting a Peace and Friendship Alliance Gathering on September 25, 26 & 27 at THE NICTAU LAKE CABINS, Mount Carleton Provincial Park.  
This historical place is where the Wolastoq and Mi’kmaq Traditional Chiefs once met to unify the nations and discuss important issues in a true democratic manner.

This will be an historical event where the two nations and their allies will reaffirm the Peace and Friendship treaties that our Ancestors signed during the 1800 century.

All members of the Wolastoq - Mi’kmaq Nations and ally groups are welcomed to attend this historical gathering.

There will be 6 cabins that will house approximately 35 Elderly people.
