The "Survie Matamajaw" Project
Published on 1 mai 2025
Every month, we offer a reading to our newsletter subscribers. For the month of May, we suggested that they go back in time... to 1988!
Yes, we dug into the archives and found our local newspaper from Causapscal, L'eau Vive, February 1988 edition.
Why this specific date? It was the "Special Matamajaw Survival" edition! We were not yet a museum, but we wanted to become one. The "Matamajaw Survival" committee was gaining momentum and had a development project for the site. It is thanks to them that we now have a local museum and citizens who are aware of our heritage and history.
You will find the names of the committee members on page 5, as well as all those who contributed to the project on pages 7 and 10. You will surely recognize some names...
Pages 15 and onwards present the 1988 development project. You will notice that most of these elements are now found in the museum! Finally, pages 23 and onwards offer "testimonials from the oldest members around Matamajaw." In short, a tantalizing read from start to finish!

We strongly encourage you to read this February 1988 edition, and then the May 2025 edition which will be released soon, to support our local newspaper and stay informed about the activities happening in Causapscal! (Available only in French)
