Drug testing March 3, 2021, at the Community Hall at 9am.

All Covid protocols to be followed. Masks, Social distancing, hand sanitizing, and handwashing, don’t come if you’re sick or not feeling well.

Millbrook is tentatively scheduled to get our Food, Social and Ceremonial Digby scallops. In order to ensure the safety of our community and staff during this time of COVID-19, we will be handing these out through a 2-day process.

Also, Millbrook is receiving another shipment of Patagonian Scallops from Clearwater, through cooperation with KMKNO. These scallops are smaller than the Digby ones and are perfect for soups or chowder

Please bring your own bags. Masks will be required. Please maintain 6 feet spacing.

• Day 1- Dec 8. 1 pm to 6 pm. All homes on the lower section of Millbrook below Highway. Willow street or Abenaki road, for example.

• Day 2- Dec 9. 1 pm to 6 pm. All homes above the highway and off-reserve members. Tower road, for example.

Due to Nova Scotia guidelines, all non-essential travel into and out of the Halifax/ East Hants area is discouraged. We will not be making arrangements to deliver scallops this time.

Thank you for your co-operation and patience.
