Fisheries

The Fisheries Department for Paqtnkek is responsible for managing and conserving the aquatic resources in the community’s traditional territory. The department works to ensure sustainable fishing practices and to protect the community’s fishing rights.

Please welcome Paqtnkek's new EMO Director, Jerron Hawley!

"My name is Jerron Hawley, I am from Port Hood located on the western coast of Cape Breton. I spent 13 years living in Fort McMurray, Alberta, working as a career Firefighter and Primary Care Paramedic, where I developed a deep understanding of emergency response, preparedness, and community safety.

Beyond my professional experience, I’m a grateful husband and father of two children. I have a deep passion for continuous learning, helping others, and making a meaningful impact. In my free time, I enjoy coaching sports, staying active, and embracing progress in both personal and professional growth.

I look forward to collaborating to enhance emergency preparedness and offer support within the community. Please feel free to reach out at EMO@paqtnkek.ca or (902) 600-6211."

Thank you Chris Pictou for all you do for Paqtnkek! #WaterIsLifeToday is National Indigenous Water Operators Day.

From our friends at www.facebook.com/watermovement.ca:

'Water is life, but for many Indigenous communities, access to clean, safe drinking water is a daily challenge. National Indigenous Water Operator Day (NIWOD) was created to honour the water operators who overcome immense obstacles to ensure their communities have access to this vital resource.

Held every year on March 21 — the day before World Water Day — NIWOD reminds us that before celebrating water, we must first celebrate those who make it safe to drink.'
