Sydney profit shares to Glooscap Band from the Province of Nova Scotia for fiscal year 11/12
In the gaming agreement which Glooscap First Nation entered into with the Province of Nova Scotia, there was a commitment by the Province to distribute 50% of the profits of the Sheraton Casino in Sydney among First Nations. The consensus of the Nova Scotia Chiefs on the distribution was that core funding of $20,000 be paid to each First Nation and the balance be distributed based on Band population. This formula was utilized by the Province and Glooscap Band has received $69,006.01 for the fiscal year period 1 April 2011 to 31 March 2012.
At a duly convened Band Council Meeting, a decision on how to utilize the funds received was made. Each Glooscap Band Member of voting age (18 years of age and over as of 31 March 2012) is to receive $100.00.
The Glooscap Band Chief and Council endeavors to provide fair and equitable decisions and it is hoped the cheque will assist you. If you have any questions regarding this subject, please contact any member of the Glooscap Band Council.

Re: Membership Services Provided by The CMM
The Membership services provided by The CMM is a very busy and important position within The CMM. The CMM Membership Clerk has been trying to service all of The CMM Communities as well as other service clients that "drop in" to our main office location.
To help assist the Membership Clerk with his very busy schedule and make it easier for client access, The CMM will be implementing an updated work schedule and office schedule. Starting June 4th, 2012, the following schedule will be in place for The CMM Membership Clerk:
The remainder of the Membership Clerk's time will be spent at The CMM Main office located at 57 Martin Crescent from 8:00am to 4:00pm.
Additionally, the Membership Clerks' priority will be for the membership services of The CMM Member communities. Additional clients will be referred to their home communities or to the Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC) regional office in Amherst.
