Housing Subdivision for Fort Albany First Nation - Phase 1
Official title: Fort Albany First Nation - 100 Lot Subdivision Construction Phase 1 Project
Fort Albany First Nation wants to build the first phase of a 100-lot housing subdivision to address a housing shortage in their community. This phase would prepare 32 lots with roads, water, sewer, and electricity connections. About 1.67 hectares of trees still need to be cleared on the 16-hectare site.
Why This Matters
Housing shortages in First Nations communities are a serious issue across Canada. This project could provide 32 new housing lots for Fort Albany families. It's part of a larger plan for 100 lots total.
What Could Change
If approved, construction could begin on roads, drainage, and utility connections for 32 lots. Tree clearing would be completed on the remaining 1.67 hectares. This sets the stage for future housing construction in the community.
Key Issues
- Environmental impacts of tree clearing and construction on 16 hectares
- Infrastructure requirements for water, sewer, and electrical services
Indigenous Consultation
This consultation requires engagement with Indigenous communities under the Crown's duty to consult.
