Our community is made up of Mi’kmaq people who have lived in this area for thousands of years.
We are a small indigenous community located in Nova Scotia, Canada, near the southern shores of Antigonish Harbour, directly off of highway 104, about 15 minutes from the Town of Antigonish.
Our community is surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes, including forests, lakes, and rivers. We take pride in our culture and traditions, which have been passed down from generation to generation.
Our community is home to a variety of cultural events, including powwows, traditional feasts, and drumming circles. We also have a strong connection to the land, and many of our community members are involved in fishing, hunting, and trapping. Our language, Mi’kmaq, is an integral part of our culture, and we are working to revitalize it among our people.
Despite the challenges that we have faced as an indigenous community, we remain resilient and committed to preserving our way of life. We welcome visitors to our community and encourage everyone to learn more about our culture and traditions.

Community Reminder: Check Your Naloxone Kits and share this post
Take a few minutes to:
• Check Expiry date
• Check if the packaging and equipment are damaged
• Know where where the kit is located and is easy to access
• Make sure you and others in your household know how to use it
What if naloxone is expired?
Expired naloxone should be replaced as soon as possible.
If an opioid overdose is happening and the only naloxone available is expired, use it while waiting for a new kit. Naloxone can lose potency after its expiry date, so additional doses may be needed, but an early dose make save a life.
Need a new kit?
The Paqtnkek Health Centre can provide you with a new naloxone kit. If your kit is expired, damaged, or has been used, contact the Health Centre for a replacement.
If you see someone experiencing a suspected opioid overdose:
Call 911 → Give naloxone → Stay with the person → Give additional doses if needed.
Please take a moment today to check your kit, know where it is, and know how to use it.
Lets work together and support one another in keeping our community safe.
