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.

In the link below you will find a by-law that was used previously.
Currently, we are working with Confederacy of Mainland Mi’kmaw to have our dog bylaw updated and with some planning, we hope to have this enforced as soon as possible.
We are asking community members to provide input of what they would like to see in the Dog By-Law or wouldn’t like to see in the By-Law. Submit your thoughts by emailing: council@paqtnkek.ca
