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.

St. Anne's Mission Friendly reminder:
1) It's potluck dinner. Bring your favorite dish. Remember every small dish of pasta or dubs, meat, bread, butter, refreshments, fruit or veggies helps make our feast a sucess. **Your one dish isn't expected to feed everyone but together every little bit helps. ☺️💖
2) Don't forget to bring your own utensils and plastic plates/reusable plates. We are trying to reduce our contributions to the landfill. (Those who remember will get their name entered into a draw for a $25.00 Esso gift card. We are giving away 4 cards)
3) Don't forget your seafood crackers for the snow crab.
4) Be sure to bring some water or refreshments. It's expected to be a warm day.
5) Bring your own sunscreen and insect repellent.
