New Daycare and Head Start Building for Red Earth Cree Nation
Official title: Red Earth Cree Nation Daycare and Head Start Building
Red Earth Cree Nation wants to build a new daycare and Head Start facility next to their existing Health Center. The 1,200 m² building would serve about 92 children, from infants to preschool age. The project needs new water and sewer connections to existing services nearby.
Why This Matters
This project would provide early childhood education for nearly 100 children in the Red Earth Cree Nation community. For families on reserve, accessible childcare means parents can work or pursue education. Quality early learning programs help children succeed in school later.
What Could Change
If approved, construction could begin on a new 1,200 m² childcare facility. The community would gain capacity for 92 children in early learning programs. New water and sewer infrastructure would be installed to support the building.
Key Issues
- Environmental impacts of building on undeveloped land
- New water and sewer service connections
