Mi’kmaq place name signs added to six new PEI locations

This is Indigenous Awareness Week, and in recognition of that, L’nuey and the provincial government are continuing to partner to recognize Mi’kmaq place names through the signage initiative across the province, while celebrating Epekwitk’s Mi’kmaq history. 

At six new locations across the Island, heritage signage has been installed to highlight locations with names that have a Mi’kmaq origin or that hold particular importance to the Mi’kmaq people. These signs have been installed in Cascumpec Bay, West Point, Lennox Channel, Canoe Cove, Vernon River, and Morell River.  This brings the total number of Mi’kmaq place name signs installed across PEI since 2020 to 35.
