Membership Coordinator - Kim Gallant
Why should I become a member of the Native Council of Prince Edward Island?
The NCPEI represents off-reserve aboriginal peoples in a variety of ways. Whether we are dealing with various government agencies, local businesses, or Aboriginals seeking information on their status, the Native Council offers you a variety of other services which include, Employment and Training Initiatives, Youth Programs, Fisheries, Housing and more.
I am a member and wonder why I never receive any mail or updates?
Many of our members move and forget to call us or send a note with their new address and phone number. Please keep us informed so that we can serve you better.
Who is the contact for membership?
Your contact is Kim Gallant. Kim can be reached by leaving a message at the Native Council office. Kim will get back to you as quickly as possible.
