[BNS_members] Suggest Names for the New BNS Publication- Prize for the Winner!

[Paul MacGillivray]

hi - I wanted to alter my first suggestion to The Blomidon Greenwoods 
Advocate - to reflect the geographical reference you mentioned.

But I do very much like Rick's suggestion of *The Jijuktu’kwjek Journal.*

Having said that, I think BNS should consult a representative Mi'kmaq 
organization to ask  what THEY think about the use of their language in 
the title before we go ahead. They may have some good ideas and one 
always likes to be asked.
