Listuguj Mi’gmaq Development Centre

Annual Report 2012

The Listuguj Mi’gmaq Development Centre

(LMDC) has been operating since the

signing of the first agreement between

Human Resources Development Canada

and the Assembly of First Nations of

Quebec and Labrador in 1996.

The Employment and Training agreements

are managed by the First Nations Human

Resources Development Commission of

Quebec (FNHRDCQ), consisting of 22 Local

First Nations Centres servicing 29

communities, as well as four Urban Service

Centres located in Montreal, Quebec, Val

d’Or and Sept-Iles.

The LMDC is governed by a board of

directors, referred to as the Listuguj

Mi’gmaq Development Council

(LMDCouncil). Its members are appointed

by the Listuguj Mi’gmaq Government and

consist of two community members, two

elected members of council, and three

Listuguj Mi’gmaq Government Staff

members; 1 from Education, one from

Social Assistance and one from Finance.

The Chief serves as Chairperson.

The LMDC is pleased to present its annual

report for the fiscal period 2011-2012 to the

Listuguj Mi’gmaq Government and to the

community of Listuguj, as approved by the

LMDCouncil.

A Year in Review

With the signing of the new Aboriginal

Skills and Employment Training Strategy

(ASETS) in October 2010, the 2011-2012

fiscal year represents the first full year of

the agreement which ends

March 31, 2015.

The ASETS agreement has

proven to be challenging to

say the least. The three

priorities of the agreement

include: Supporting

Demand-Driven Skills

Development; Fostering

Partnerships with Private

Sector and Government; and Placing

Emphasis on Accountability and Results.

The impact of the emphasis placed on

accountability and results has been

considerable. Staff have had retraining, to

ensure the recording and monitoring of all

services and interventions according to the

increased demands outlined in the ASETS

agreement. Additionally,

the extensive financial

reporting requirements

have increased the

workload of staff

responsible for financial

reporting.

As part of staff

retraining, consultant

Josette Boudreau was

contracted to deliver training to LMDC’s

front line staff on career and employment

counseling, and to review the Client intake

process.

Meet the LMDC Team

The LMDC saw quite a few changes this past year with Career Counsellor Bella Moffat’s

planned leave of absence. Myrna Isaac left her role as Support Counsellor to assume the Career

Counsellor duties. In doing so the LMDC had a huge role to fill. Interviews were held and

Anna Isaac was the successful candidate for Interim Support Counsellor.

Client Services were improved through restructuring. In addition to Career Counselling and

Client Support Services, aspects of employment counselling were centralized through the

creation of the position of an Employment Counsellor. Jennifer LaBillois-Metallic was

transferred to this position. Her role is to provide assistance, offer counselling and give

information to Clients on all aspects of securing employment and job retention as administered

by LMDC's programming, policies and procedures. She also provides information on LMDC's

job creation programs to potential employers/sponsors and processes the funding applications.

In addition, due to funding restraints, the position of Professional Training Coordinator was

eliminated. The responsibilities of the Professional Training Coordinator were added to the

position of Support Counsellor.

The Team at the LMDC consists of nine full time staff members and one project based staff.

The positions and team members are:

Sheila Brisk – Data Entry/Research Clerk

Christie Caplin-Isaac – Administrative Clerk

David Caplin Jr. – Custodian

Tina Girvan – Communications Technician/Instructor

Jeanette Henry – Receptionist

Anna Isaac – Interim Support Counsellor

Myrna Isaac – Interim Career Counsellor

Jennifer LaBillois-Metallic – Employment Counsellor

Cathy Martin – Workshop/Course Facilitator/Instructor

Lorna Sook – Director

With the planned leave of absence of Cathy Martin, Don Patrick Martin, specialist in

communications was contracted to complete the Step-by-Step Transition (Block 3) Workshops.

responsible for administering the student support component of the project, including the

allocation of allowances, student intake and follow-up, as well as results tracking.

During the period from January to March 2012, 29 Clients participated in 30 interventions,

which include 23 interventions in the areas of Labour Market Information and Professional

Academic Refresher

An academic refresher was held from

February 22 to March 30, 2012. This

included 3.5 weeks of mathematics with a

focus on trigonometry for the construction

trades and two weeks of life skills training,

which included First Aid/CPR certification

for all attendees.

General Development Text (GDT) Preparation

In order to meet the requirements for admission in the vocational training programs related to

employment opportunities in wind power energy, a five day preparation session was delivered

to ensure the success of those who were scheduled to write the GDT. A total of 10 clients

participated in the sessions and all were successful.

First Nations Regional Adult Education Centre

In October 2006, at the First Nations Socioeconomic Forum in Mashteuiatsh, the Quebec

Minister of Education announced its commitment for the creation of two Regional First

Nations Adult Education Centers.

In early October, the community of Listuguj submitted a tender to the First Nation Provisional

School Council in Adult Education, in partnership with the community of Kahnawake. The

official announcement of the chosen communities took place on November 2, 2011 in Montreal,

during a meeting of the FNHRDCQ.

Essentially, what the partnership means, is that there is one centre with two campuses.

Listuguj and Kahnawake look forward to implementing new approaches and concepts that will

help in the research, program development, and incorporation of First Nation history, culture


and language components. The aim is also to provide quality student support services to assist

members in achieving their goals. Additionally, the centers are regional, which means the

doors will be open to all First Nations members in Quebec.

What does this mean for Listuguj? First and foremost, it means quality education for our adult

members. The Adult Education Centre is designed for First Nations. Students will not only

have the opportunity to complete academic requirements, such as Math, English, Science, etc.,

but they will have available the opportunity to learn more about our culture, our history and

our language.

In addition to the teaching staff of the centre, resources will be made available to students for

guidance and support, helping them along the way, ensuring their success, which in turn will

offer them many more opportunities.

On November 22, 2011, the LMDC held a community luncheon to announcement the opening

of the Centre in September 2013. The community was assured that they would be kept up to

date on this program. In attendance was also Chief Councilor Dean Vicaire who congratulated

the LMDC team on the hard work accomplished in producing the tender document submission.

Labour Market Information (LMI) Implementation Strategy In the fall of 2009, the FNHRDCQ signed

an agreement with the Government of

Canada under the Aboriginal Skills &

Training Strategic Investment Fund

(ASTSIF) to establish the LMDC as the pilot

site for the Labour LMI Implementation

Strategy. The objectives were to develop

and implement Labour Market Job

placement services in Listuguj through

partnerships with Service Canada, Emploi

Quebec and the FNHRDCQ. The tools

developed from this project are

implemented into the daily workings of the

organization and shared amongst the 29

Local First Nation Centres in Quebec.

The funding agreement ended March 31,

2011 having realized its goals in improving

the quality of services to First Nation

clientele. The LMI tools developed to assist

front-line staff in their counselling of clients

has been well received and implemented.

LMI Steering Committee

One of the many activities realized in

this project was the creation of an

LMI Steering Committee with local

and regional representatives.

Creating partnerships with

government agencies, regional bodies

and local representatives has enabled

the LMDC to learn about program

and funding opportunities that are

available outside of our community.

The committee members were all


10 | P a g e

very keen to assist our organization in realizing employment integration for our clients. It was

made up of a diversity of cultures in our region working together to achieve a common goal.

Final Evaluation Report

The purpose of the outcomes-based

evaluation of the Labour Market

Information Implementation Strategy was

to assist the senior management of the

LMDC in determining whether and how the

program achieved results that address the

objectives of the LMI Implementation

Strategy.

The following are the recommendations

that were outlined from the LMI

Evaluation:

Maintenance of the promotion of the use

and benefits of LMI is highly

recommended. The three main

stakeholders groups: clients; front-line

workers and decision-makers will continue

to benefit from continued training and

promotion of LMI.

While LMI has existed in many forms over

the years, the above-noted group of

stakeholders has only become aware of

these tools and how they can benefit their

respective roles/areas. Continued

promotion of LMI will ensure this tool

enters the common language and standard

use of each stakeholder group.

With respect to different elements of the

LMI Implementation Strategy,

recommendations are more issue-specific

including: ALMASS/ACCESS database,

training, sensitization and promotions, job

placement, and ASTSIF Project Funding.

Details on these recommendations can be

found at www.lmdc.ca.

LMI Analysis Results – Brain Storming Session

On January 19, 2012, the Listuguj Mi’gmaq

Development Centre, in responding to

recommendations from an analysis of the

Listuguj labour force, held a one day

brainstorming session with community

resources and relevant stakeholders to

share their ideas, suggestions and

comments. Stakeholders included former

clients, front-line workers, staff, decision

makers, Chief and Council, Board of

Directors and external stakeholders.

From this session, a report was completed

by Tanya Barnaby and Victoria LaBillois-

Mitchell. The report compiled and

analyzed the brainstorming attendees’

input into recommendations on how future

LMDC programming should be customized

on how to best address the specific needs of

the Listuguj labour force. Full details of the

report can be found at www.lmdc.ca. The

LMDC is currently working on identifying

the necessary funds for continued

consultation with focus groups, as well as

the development and implementation of a

program specific to the target groups

identified in the LMI Analysis Report.

Local Programming

Step-by-Step Transitions Program The Step-by-Step Program registered 14 Clients in the fall of 2010. Of

those registered nine successfully completed the program in June 2011,

three withdrew (one to attend college), one was required to withdraw and

one ended by mutual agreement. Of the nine who completed the

program, five returned to school, one was employed and three were not

employed.

The graduates of the SBS Program were Cass Barnaby, Leha Jacques, Chantal Gideon, Gaetane

Larocque, Nicholas Jay Martin, Tawnie Martin, Miranda Mitchell-Caggiano and James Sloan.

On June 28, 2011, the inaugural Step-by-

Step Sponsorship Appreciation Luncheon

was held at LMDC as a means of giving

thanks to the many sponsors that made the

program possible. “Thank you” gifts were

distributed and the program participants

served a meal that they prepared at the

Listuguj Elder’s Lodge under the

supervision of Eli Isaac, a professional chef.

Sponsors included the Alaqsite’w Gitpu

School, the Listuguj Mi’gmaq Government,

the Mi’gmawei Mawiomi Secretariat, CHRQ

Radio, Building Blocks Day Care,

Restigouche Family Services, Yves Poirier

Enterprises, GMRC, Wal-Mart, the Listuguj

Police Department, Tim Hortons, the Used

Book Store and Zellers.

In the fall of 2011, five Clients registered for the Step-by-Step Program.

Summer Student Employment Each year the LMDC submits proposals to Canada Summer Jobs to access monies to hire

student workers. For the summer 2011, the LMDC was successful in attaining sponsorship for

one position.

Travis Wysote was hired by the LMDC as a Summer Student Job Coach. His duties were to set

up a “Job Services Office” that would assist high school student job seekers. Travis participated

in training courses with the front-line staff on job search techniques and LMI. He reached out

to the students by promoting his services at the local high school. He developed promotions

that were posted in and around the community and created announcements for the local radio

station. Finally, he offered workshops to the students on resume writing, interview skills and

the use of online support programs.


12 | P a g e

Through the Listuguj Mi’gmaq Government’s Summer Student Employment Program, Felicia

Caggiano-Mitchell was offered a work placement with the LMDC to assist with researching

small business workshops for high school students. Both workers were great assets to the

LMDC team and to Listuguj youth that sought out their services.

Basic Entrepreneurship Workshops The Basic Entrepreneur Workshops consist

of two days of presentations and exercises

to help participants gain a better

understanding of the basic requirements for

starting up a business. The workshop, held

at LMDC, covers fundamental business

concepts and provides a solid foundation

for the development of entrepreneurial

traits and skills. Topics included:

characteristics of an entrepreneur, types of

businesses, marketing, pricing, basic

banking, overview of a business plan and

available sources for funding. Upon

completion of the workshop, participants

were awarded certificates, thus having met

the criteria for future LMDC funding in that

domain. Additionally the SBS students of

2010 each participated in the program and

obtained certificates.

How to Be a Successful Student The “How to Be a Successful Student

Workshop” is designed to equip those who

wish to pursue post-secondary education

with the soft skills needed to be successful.

It incorporates strategies for living away

from home, including budgeting, financial

wellness, report writing, stress

management, study skills, learning styles

assessments, time management, job

prospects and labour market information.

Personality exploration and getting along

with others was also explored. A session

was held from August 8 to 12, 2011 with 11

students in attendance.

General Education Development (GED) Academic upgrading was offered during the spring of 2011. Eight participants attended a two-

week refresher to prepare to write or re-write their GED tests. This refresher was offered

despite the phasing out of GED support funding.

GED Graduation

On June 9, 2011 the LMDC celebrated the success of the GED graduates with their friends and

families. Graduates were Talbert Condo, Thomas Germain, Rodney Isaac, Tamara Jacques and

Roland Vicaire Jr.


LMDC Presentations

LMI Presentation to FNHRDCQ General Assembly In June of 2011, a final report presentation was provided to

the 29 representatives of the FNHRDCQ during the

Conclusion

Excerpt from the FNHRDCQ 2011-2012 Annual Report:

“When one considers the number of reports required by HRSDC and Service Canada

during the year, the amount of new and precise information to be provided, the number

of modifications to be brought to the documents provided, the number of actions, and

decisions to be explained and justified, in short, the continuous increase in workload

related to accountability; one has to wonder if there is any limit to what the federal

government will demand in return for the funds granted under the ASETS.

But even worse: the Department’s latitude in interpreting the requirements of the

agreement along the way, also seems to be unlimited. It is like an ever-changing

bottomless pit.

It must be stated that the mission of the Front-line workers is to promote personal

fulfillment through work, and does not consist of applying themselves to endless

bureaucratic exercises. The impact of the new accountability measures is particularly

severe in the local and urban service points, where the lack of human resources

continues to lead to the difficult, if not, impossible choice of either providing quality

services or fulfilling administrative obligations. The irony is that the better you become

at being accountable, the harder it becomes to obtain good results.”

With the support and encouragement from the LMDCouncil Board of Directors, LMG Chief and

Council and the community of Listuguj, the LMDCentre Team continues to persevere despite

Canada’s unjustified demands.

Through hard work and dedication to Listuguj community members, the Team at LMDC has

been relentless at adhering to the demands of the ASETS requirements, all the while

maintaining and improving quality services provided to Listugujewaq for Building Mi’gmaq

Resources.
