Becoming \u00a0a member of FNFA on May 3, 2017,\u00a0 they brought a vision of creating the Bayside Travel Centre \u2013 a space for commercial success for their community.\u00a0 They had a long-term plan to develop an integrated travel centre on the Trans Canada Highway and were well on their way to opening day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Then the Covid crisis hit<\/strong>. The effect was felt Canada-wide\u00a0 and caused First Nation communities to concentrate their efforts on protecting the health of their members. FNFA\u00a0 worked\u00a0 with our membership to navigate through the initial financial impact. Our role was unique to each member. With Paqtnkek, it was important to be ready to open Bayside Travel Centre once the closures were lifted as the jobs and revenues are needed to offset the consequences caused by the pandemic.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"row cntBlock col2block\" id=\"col2block-block_5f04f48840467\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-lg-6\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>This month we want to sincerely acknowledge<\/strong> the dedication of Paqtnkek\u2019s Chief and Council, Bayside Travel Centre CEO Rose Paul, Membership and their staff as they have managed to bring Bayside through the crisis and opening day is in sight as you can see in the attached video.
