Chief Misel Joe of Conne River is hoping for a special birthday gift on June 4.

That day happens to be Election Day in the Mi’kmaq community and Chief Joe, who has been involved in the political scene in the band council since 1974, hopes to win another two-year term as chief.

Chief Joe said he wants to continue working for his residents and to keep moving the community forward.

“My work is my enjoyment. My friends and family are in this community, and I have the best of both worlds here. I can’t think of any other thing I would rather do,” he told the Advertiser.
