New Housing Subdivision for Lac La Ronge Indian Band - Bell's Point Stages 6 & 7
Official title: Lac La Ronge Indian Band Bell's Point Subdivision Stages 6 and 7
The Lac La Ronge Indian Band wants to build 136 new housing lots in Bell's Point, Saskatchewan. The project would meet the community's housing needs for the next 18 years. It includes new roads, water lines, sewer pipes, and a pumping station across 46 hectares.
Why This Matters
This project addresses housing shortages in an Indigenous community. If you live in or near Bell's Point, construction could affect local traffic and the environment around Demchenko Lake. The drainage system will direct water toward the lake.
What Could Change
If approved, 136 new housing lots would be developed with full infrastructure. Nearly 4 km of water mains and 2.8 km of sewer pipes would be installed. Treed buffers would be maintained where possible to minimize environmental impact.
Key Issues
- Will the existing water and wastewater systems handle 136 new lots?
- What are the environmental impacts of drainage directed to Demchenko Lake?
- How much land clearing is needed and what buffers will be preserved?
Indigenous Consultation
This consultation requires engagement with Indigenous communities under the Crown's duty to consult.
