| Description | Abegweit First Nation, located on Prince Edward Island along the Northumberland Strait, is a vibrant Mi’kmaq community recognized for its strong leadership, entrepreneurial spirit, and commitment to sustainable growth. With a population of just over 400 members, Abegweit’s three reserve communities—Morell, Scotchfort, and Rocky Point—occupy some of the most scenic and strategically located lands in Atlantic Canada. Its proximity to the provincial capital of Charlottetown provides access to regional markets, tourism corridors, and partnership opportunities that span the Island and beyond. The community has built a solid foundation of economic success through enterprises in fisheries, aquaculture, tourism, and environmental services, each grounded in respect for the land and water. Abegweit continues to expand its economic footprint by investing in renewable energy, local food production, and digital innovation—creating opportunities that blend traditional knowledge with modern enterprise. These initiatives reflect a vision of self-reliance, sustainability, and intergenerational prosperity. Abegweit First Nation welcomes collaboration with partners who share its belief that reconciliation is advanced through action, shared opportunity, and economic inclusion. Working together with business, government, and community organizations ensures that growth is both meaningful and enduring—for the Nation and for all of Prince Edward Island.
