As of 2017, the Mi'kmaq population is 119 on-Reserve, and approximately 173 off-Reserve for a total population of 292.[1] The community has a gas bar, tobacco shop, gaming centre, health centre, and a chapel.[2] It is the second smallest First Nation community in Nova Scotia in terms of population.
