Bras d'Or Lakes Collaborative Environmental Planning Initiative (CEPI): Listening to the People of the Lakes Workshop is coming up fast - March 10-12, 2026!

The CEPI 2026 Workshop brings together community members, partners, knowledge holders, practitioners, and decision-makers to listen, discuss, reflect, and help shape the future of the Bras d’Or Lake and watershed. Grounded in collaboration and guided by Etuaptmumk/Two-Eyed Seeing, this three-day gathering creates space for meaningful dialogue and shared visioning that will help CEPI assess the current state of the Bras d’or communities, and if a change in focus is required.

March is Amyloidosis Awareness Month

Amyloidosis is a rare and complex group of diseases where abnormal proteins (amyloid) build up in organs, leading to impairment or failure. Early diagnosis is key to effective treatment—catching it early can make all the difference. Let’s spread awareness and support those affected.
