Replacement Radio Tower for First Responders on Stoney First Nation Reserve
Official title: Alberta First Responders Radio Communications Systems New Tower Proposals on the Mînî Thnî, Alberta, located on Stoney First Nation #143, 144, and 145 Reserve.
Alberta wants to replace an old 38-meter radio tower with a new 35-meter one on Stoney First Nation land near Mînî Thnî. The tower supports emergency communications for police, fire, and ambulance services across the province.
Why This Matters
Live on or near Stoney First Nation reserves? This tower affects your local landscape. The system helps first responders communicate during emergencies—potentially improving response times for everyone in the area.
What Could Change
If approved, the old uncertified tower comes down and a new 35-meter tower goes up. Future antenna additions may happen without new consultations. The tower becomes part of Alberta's province-wide first responder network.
Key Issues
- Should the replacement tower be approved on Stoney First Nation land?
- Are there concerns about the tower's visual or environmental impact?
Indigenous Consultation
This consultation requires engagement with Indigenous communities under the Crown's duty to consult.
