NAYAADAMAAGEJIG ~ THE ONES THAT HELP PEOPLE

News From Health and Human Services

The Family Services team is excited to announce its new name: Nayaadamaagejig. Translated, this means "The Ones that Help People." (Phonetically pronounced: Nay yawd duh maa gay shig.)

If you remember, we had a public digital survey in June in which community members were asked to share their opinions on new names for the department; Nayaadamaagejig received 45.5% of all votes, the most of any name. We appreciate the time and effort of each person who shared their opinions on this matter, and we could not be happier, as we feel that this truly reflects the aim of our department and the families we work with.

Please be patient with us as we update documents such as business cards and letterhead to reflect our new name.

Again, miigwech to everyone who cast a vote.
