Treena Metallic

"Yes, I own my own home and have a nice car, but these things don't matter.   Just being happy matters."   

Education:   University of New Brunswick in Fredericton, Treena earned an Arts degree in Political Science and then a Bachelor of Education.

Recent Employment:   Assistant Director of Operations at the Band office, where I work primarily in Human Resources.

Community Involvement:  

• "I'm the manager for Team Gespe'gewa'g, the basketball team that took part in the 2006 North American Indigenous Games held in Denver, Colorado in July.
• I've always loved my community and I try to stay involved. I'm an elected member of the school board and try to volunteer at the Alaqsite'w Gitpu School when needed."

Advantages of living here:

• "Watching my daughter grow up here in Listuguj with a sense of pride in being Mi'gmaq, makes me all the more aware of the things we need to appreciate.

• Seeing this place through her eyes, I realize it's a great place to be!"
