Pjila’si!

Welcome to We’koqma’q, a vibrant Mi’kmaw community situated in the heart of Unama’ki (Cape Breton Island), nestled between the foothills of Skye Mountain and the serene expanse of the Bras d’Or Lakes. 

 

A Mi’kmaw community filled with pride, culture, and the spirit of togetherness, We’koqma’q is a place where neighbours support one another, youth are encouraged to dream big, and elders are cherished as keepers of knowledge. Our community is built on kindness, resilience, and a shared vision for a strong and vibrant future.
