At Pabineau First Nation, community and care for one another are at the core of everything we do. Recently, we proudly donated $5,000 to the Bathurst Food Bank, an effort that highlights our unwavering commitment to supporting those in need. This donation isn’t just about giving money—it’s about staying true to our values and ensuring that everyone in our community has access to the resources they need, especially in times of hardship.
As a community, Pabineau First Nation is deeply rooted in the belief that helping others is key to our collective growth and prosperity. Our vision is to create a community that thrives together, where no one is left behind, and we truly believe that we are stronger when we lift each other up. This act of giving is a perfect reflection of our commitment to fostering a vibrant, resilient community—a community that cares for its members, both near and far.
Aligning Our Actions with Our Values
Our vision statement speaks to the values that guide every decision we make. At Pabineau, we prioritize social development, ensuring that our youth, elders, and all community members are supported. This donation to the Bathurst Food Bank is a practical extension of our vision—it reflects our ongoing commitment to social responsibility and helping those who are struggling to make ends meet.
We believe that being conscientious stewards of our community means being there for one another, especially when it matters most. Supporting the Bathurst Food Bank is just one of the many ways we practice community care, emphasizing the importance of unity and shared responsibility.
Rooted in Heritage, Focused on the Future
At Pabineau First Nation, we are dedicated to ensuring that every action we take today contributes to the well-being of future generations. As we continue to embrace our heritage and the teachings of our ancestors, we are reminded of the importance of balance in all aspects of life. This balance is not just about growth—it’s about growth that respects our traditions, our environment, and our shared commitment to one another.
By contributing to the Bathurst Food Bank, we are not only helping those in need today but also honoring the values of compassion, solidarity, and sustainability that have been passed down through generations. Our community is built on these values, and every act of kindness strengthens our collective spirit and inspires others to do the same.

Pabineau First Nation is more than just a place—it’s a reflection of our commitment to building a future rooted in love, respect, and generosity. This donation to the Bathurst Food Bank is a small but meaningful step toward ensuring that no one in our extended community feels forgotten.
Together, we are forging a path forward—one that balances economic, social, cultural, and environmental development. We honor our past, support our present, and pave the way for a brighter future for our youth, all while ensuring that the wisdom of our ancestors continues to guide us.
