First Nations Youth

Rehabilitation Center

Walgwan Center

The Walgwan Center is situated in the Province of Quebec on the Gaspé coast. Our priority is to offer services to all First nations and Inuit communities situated East of Ottawa, therefore including the Labrador and Atlantic regions. However, being one of the National Centers, we may also admit youths from other provinces, if needed. Our location is the Mi'kmaq native community of Gesgapegiag. Gesgapegiag has an on-reserve population of about 500 members, situated at the mouth of the Grand Cascapedia River, on the shore of Chaleur Bay in Gaspésie. Gesgapegiag is situated near New Brunswick.

Some of the services provided in the community are health and community services, Amerindian social services, an elementary school, an adult education learning center, the administrative services of the Band, a community hall, and the local Amerindian police. We can also find the Mawiomi Adult Treatment Center.
