    June is National Indigenous History Month, which is an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the resilience, cultures and contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis across Canada. Chief Terri Greene of the Elmastukwek Band in Benoit’s Cove says it’s a time to celebrate our rich history, culture, and communities. Meanwhile, Chief Greene wants everyone to come out tomorrow and help get their grow for good garden garden started.  Everyone should meet 9 am tomorrow morning at the town hall in Humber Arm South. Chief Greene says the band is one of five recipients of the 2023 Grow for Good grants. She says this will help address food insecurity issues in the area. Chief Greene says they’re even planning on planting pear trees.
