Excitingly, we present our bi-weekly newsletter, which delivers a comprehensive program and events schedule. The aim of Schákwel tl’ Sq’éwqel is to: 

• Provide a list of upcoming events, classes, and activities. 
• Offer a simple source for finding community involvement information. 
• Increase event and program attendance from Community Members. 
• Demonstrate transparency through consistent updates. 
• Engage and build relationships between Community Members. 

From highlighting upcoming events to serving as a resource for community involvement, our goal is to commit to transparency about community development and keeping everyone informed. We also wish to promote greater engagement among Members to deepen community connections and encourage meaningful Member involvement.  

A focus on language is important, and has been incorporated into the title of this newsletter: Schákwel tl’ Sq’éwqel, which translates to “what’s happening on Seabird Island.” 

We have also launched the Sq’éwqel Sqwélqwel Pípé (Seabird Island newspaper)! Through this monthly source of community information and entertainment, you can expect program updates, fact-based articles, editorial insights, practical tips, and entertaining sections. A newspaper that informs as well as engages, and ultimately enriches the lives of our Community Members. As we embark on this journey together, our goal is to build stronger relationships within our community.  

Thank you for doing your part as our readership!
