Sqoljui’ku’s (Frog Croaking Time) means field season is ramping up for our NSMTC Anqotum team. 🐸🐟🌊
May is one of the busiest times of year for our field crew, with longer days, rising waters, and more time spent on the river with our conservation partners: Atlantic Salmon Federation, Miramichi Salmon Association, and University of New Brunswick 's Canadian Rivers Institute.
Earlier this month, our Anqotum team helped the Miramichi Salmon Association install smolt wheels on the Northwest Miramichi River. These large rotary screw traps safely collect young plamu (salmon) as they begin their journey to the ocean. All plamu collected are tagged, and a number are transported beyond the areas with high striped bass predation. The goal is to improve plamu survival during outmigration.
We’re proud to be doing boots-in-the-water conservation work to give plamu a better chance to return home to the Miramichi in the years ahead.
Our NSMTC Energy Services team has been working with the Wolastoqey Nation in New Brunswick (WNNB) on a project focused on Indigenous business participation in Canada’s small modular reactor (SMR) industry.
Phase 1 of this project looked at the barriers and gaps affecting Indigenous participation in the SMR supply chain. Phase 2, which wrapped up this spring, builds on that work by looking at the skills, experience, and business strengths that exist in New Brunswick's Indigenous communities and businesses.
