New 80-Lot Subdivision for Thunderchild First Nation
Official title: Thunderchild First Nation New Subdivision
Thunderchild First Nation wants to build a new subdivision with 80 housing lots north of their wellness centre in Saskatchewan. The project includes new water and sewer systems, roads, power, gas, and phone services. Since the site isn't connected to existing roads, they'll need to extend infrastructure from the current community.
Why This Matters
This project addresses housing needs in an Indigenous community. For Thunderchild First Nation members, it means 80 new lots for homes over the next 8 years. The new infrastructure will also improve water and sewage services for the community.
What Could Change
If approved, construction would include new water distribution lines, a sewage pumping station, and road extensions. Vegetation will be cleared and the land graded for development. The subdivision would provide housing capacity for the community's 8-year growth plan.
Key Issues
- Environmental impacts of vegetation removal and land clearing
- Infrastructure requirements for water, sewage, and utilities
- Road and service extensions to connect the new subdivision
Indigenous Consultation
This consultation requires engagement with Indigenous communities under the Crown's duty to consult.
