Discovering MMBC: Our Mission, Vision, Values, and Guiding Principles

We are the Mi'gmawei Mawiomi Business Corporation, or MMBC for short, an organization proudly supported by our shareholders, the Mi'gmaq Mawiomi Resources Limited Partnership (MMRLP), which comprises the Chiefs and Councils of the Gesgapegiag, Gespeg, and Listuguj. Our drive is clear, and our purpose is strong. Let's dive into the core of what makes us—our mission, vision, values, and the principles that guide us.‍

Our Mission

MMBC was built on a shared mission - to create an economic base that would provide the means for our communities to break from the cycle of financial scarcity and dependence, and build a solid financial independence foundation through innovative business pathways. It is not just about making money but generating those pathways that support our community citizens today, their children tomorrow, and beyond. We are investing in projects like renewable power because we know a healthy planet means a healthy future for all of us.

Our Vision

Our vision guides us toward a future where our communities are not just participating in the economy but are leading it. We see a world where the Mi'gmaq people are recognized for their innovative contributions to the business sector and where our children can inherit a legacy of success and stewardship.
