Listuguj Mi’kmaq $64M land settlement approved by Ottawa – CBC
May 08, 2015
All residents in Listuguj to receive $15K share of settlement
The Federal government has approved the $64.5 million compensation package for people living in the Mi’kmaq community of Listuguj.
The money will provide compensation for past loss of use of five parcels of land around the community.
The land was taken for use outside the community, including for a highway and the entrance to the interprovincial bridge between Quebec and New Brunswick.
People in Listuguj held a referendum on the proposed settlement in December 2014. They voted to distribute the money evenly to everyone living in the community.
