New Health Services Building for Sandy Lake First Nation
Official title: Sandy Lake First Nation - Health Services Building
Sandy Lake First Nation wants to build a new health services building to better support families and community members. Right now, they have to book space in the high school or youth centre for activities. The new 2,400 m² building would include a play area, teepee, and firepit area.
Why This Matters
This project would give Sandy Lake First Nation a dedicated space for health services and community activities. It's part of improving healthcare access in remote Indigenous communities.
What Could Change
If approved, construction would include site clearing, a new 2,400 m² building with parking, and outdoor facilities including a play area, teepee, and firepit. The community would gain a permanent health services facility.
Key Issues
- Should the environmental assessment for this health services building be approved?
- What are the potential environmental impacts of site preparation and construction?
Indigenous Consultation
This consultation requires engagement with Indigenous communities under the Crown's duty to consult.
