Housing & Infrastructure
Paqtnkek Mi’kmaw Nation is a vibrant, growing community. The Department of Housing and Infrastructure is an important part of the development team, focused on the design, construction and maintenance of all band-operated buildings and band housing units.
The Department also oversees water and sewer development and maintenance, snow removal, grounds maintenance, roadway construction and maintenance, and participates in emergency management organization activities.
As Paqtnkek continues to grow and develop, the department will play an integral role in infrastructure development related to the highway development project. This project will provide additional commercial opportunities for community members and increase housing construction with lands set aside for increased housing units to accommodate Paqtnkek’s growing families and membership.

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.
