Kulasihkulpon!
Welcome to Welamukotuk First Nation, a proud Wolastoqey community located along the beautiful Wolastoq river in Oromocto, New Brunswick.
Surrounded by the strength of our people and the richness of our culture, Welamukotuk is a place where tradition and community spirit guide us forward.
Welcome to our new and improved community website!
We are proud to launch our new community website! A central place to connect, learn, and stay informed. This site is designed to make it easier for our members and partners to access information about our services, programs, and initiatives.
- Departments & Services – Learn about the programs and supports available in our community.
- Staff Directory – Connect with the people working to serve and support Welamukotuk.
- News & Updates – Stay informed about important announcements, events, and community highlights.
Our goal is to keep you connected with the work we are doing together to strengthen our community, support our families, and build a strong future for generations to come.
Revenue Sharing Agreement Signing
On September 25, at the Delta in Fredericton, the six Chiefs of the Wolastoqey Nation stood in unity with Premier Holt and Minister Chiasson to sign foundational revenue sharing agreements. These are similar to our previous tax agreements and will allow us to keep a large share of the taxes collected at our band businesses instead of remitting it back to the CRA.
Welamukotuk Wellness Rebrand, Community Competition
We are looking to change the name and logo for the Welamukotuk Wellness cannabis shop and C&C have decided to put it out to the community for competition.
We are trying to get away from the Welamukotuk Wellness name cause people often get it confused with our health center. The name should be catchy and easy to read for advertising purposes, the logo should be self explanatory, so when people see the sign they know right away its a cannabis shop. We will be offering 500$ for the best design and looking to get it done with in the next 3 weeks.
Anyone interested in submitting can send it to email at David.verner@ofnb.com or drop them off to the bandhall. Deadline is October 9th and we will be picking the winner the week after that!

We extend our sincere congratulations to each of the successful applicants. These new homes represent an important step in addressing the housing needs of our community and reflect our continued commitment to supporting the well-being of our members.
