Road Upgrades on Peepeekisis Cree Nation Reserve
Official title: Peepeekisis Cree Nation Road Construction
Peepeekisis Cree Nation wants to fix and upgrade about 19 km of roads on their reserve in Saskatchewan. The work includes clearing overgrown vegetation, repairing damaged road surfaces, adding gravel, and improving drainage. Some roads will be decommissioned entirely.
Why This Matters
This project directly affects Peepeekisis community members who use these roads daily. Better roads mean faster emergency response times and safer travel. If you live on or near the reserve, this could change your daily commute.
What Could Change
If approved, 19 km of reserve roads will be repaired and resurfaced with gravel. Some roads will be permanently closed. Construction will involve excavation and vegetation clearing, which may temporarily disrupt travel.
Key Issues
- Which roads should be upgraded versus decommissioned?
- What are the environmental impacts of road construction on the reserve?
Indigenous Consultation
This consultation requires engagement with Indigenous communities under the Crown's duty to consult.
