New Cultural Healing Center for Red Earth Cree Nation
Official title: Red Earth Cree Nation Cultural Healing Center
Red Earth Cree Nation wants to build a Cultural Healing Center on undeveloped land near their school. The 1,250 m² building would deliver Jordan's Principle services to children up to age 18 on reserve. New water and sewer connections would tie into existing infrastructure.
Why This Matters
This project supports Indigenous children's access to health and cultural services on reserve. Jordan's Principle ensures First Nations children can access the services they need without delays caused by jurisdictional disputes. Community members may want to weigh in on the location and design.
What Could Change
If approved, a new 1,250 m² healing center would be built near the existing school. New water and sewer infrastructure would be installed. The facility would become a dedicated space for delivering Jordan's Principle services to children on reserve.
Key Issues
- Is the proposed location near the school appropriate for the Cultural Healing Center?
- What are the environmental impacts of the new water and sewer connections?
Indigenous Consultation
This consultation requires engagement with Indigenous communities under the Crown's duty to consult.
