Conquering Cancer, one blessing at a time!

On Sunday, April 21, 2013 in Terrace, BC, Courtney Guno (originally from New Aiyansh) hosted an event called “Fundraiser to get to Vancouver” to assist with the travel costs to visit her mother Patti Smith who lives in Vancouver and was diagnosed with cancer and underwent surgery.

Courtney needed a way to raise funds to be able to pay for her travel down to visit her mother Patti while she is still undergoing cancer treatment.  What to do?

Project "Spread a Little Sunshine" launches on Earth Day

As we posted yesterday, NLG encouraged all Nisga’a citizens to actively observe Earth Day.

And yet, how did NLG observe Earth Day?

NLG staff proudly observed Earth Day by participating in the “Spread a Little Sunshine” project initiated by the Human Resources Department at NLG.

Under this project, NLG staff were randomly divided up into 6 teams each of whom compete with one another by having a contest as to who could grow the tallest sunflower the fastest!

Growing season starts Earth Day, and end Friday August 30, 2013.

HAPPY EARTH DAY!

NLG Information Update

April 19, 2013

This is to advise Nisga’a citizens that there are controlled burns of slash taking place along the route of Northwest Transmission line just off Nisga’a lands (29 Kilometer on the Cranberry) where smoke has appeared, and that the situation is under control.

NAE officials confirm that the situation is under control.  Winds at the site caused the controlled burn pile to blow embers in the direction of the tree lines.
