Develop and implement a financial framework and structure to support Mi’gmaq Mawiomi Government funds (Wind Power) for Gespe’gewa’gi

Overview

Financial Framework – Mes’gig Ugjusn Wind Farm

The Mi’gmawei Mawiomi Secretariat has been tasked by the leadership of the Mi’gmawei Mawiomi to develop a financial framework for the revenues generated from the Mes’gig Ugjusn wind farm.

To date, the Leadership of the Mi’gmawei Mawiomi have not taken any decisions on the management or distribution of the revenues from the wind farm. This is a challenge that we are tackling with the assistance of experienced advisors, legal experts, the Leadership and most importantly, the Mi’gmaq citizens of Gespe’gewa’gi.

The financial framework is a critical step for the Leadership and citizens of Gespe’gewa’gi to ensure the maximum benefit from the revenues of the wind farm while providing complete accountability and transparency with the citizens.

This year will see several working group sessions with the Leadership along with a series of citizen engagement sessions on the financial framework.
