New Child and Family Services Building for Onion Lake First Nation
Official title: Onion Lake Family Services Inc. Child and Family Services Building
Onion Lake First Nation wants to build a new community centre for child and family services. The 4,730 m² building would include counselling spaces, offices, a gym, and fitness facilities. New water, sewer, gas, and power lines would connect the site.
Why This Matters
This project would give Onion Lake families a dedicated space for support services that don't currently exist. Kids and families on the reserve would have access to counselling, fitness programs, and community gathering spaces.
What Could Change
If approved, construction could begin on a new 4,730 m² facility with supporting infrastructure. The project would require new utility connections from SaskPower, Onion Lake Gas Co-op, and local water services.
Key Issues
- Does the proposed building adequately address infrastructure gaps for child and family services?
- What are the environmental impacts of new utility infrastructure on the site?
