Woodland Cree First Nation Housing Development - 5 Residential Lots
Official title: Woodland Cree First Nation: CUAK9 2025 Five Unit Residential Lot Development and Housing Project
Woodland Cree First Nation wants to build five new housing lots on their reserve lands near Cadotte Lake, Alberta. The project would clear 20 hectares of mature forest to make room for trailer homes and utility hookups. Construction was planned for spring 2025.
Why This Matters
This is a First Nation community addressing its housing needs on reserve land. For Woodland Cree members, this means more homes for families. The environmental review ensures the forest clearing is done responsibly.
What Could Change
If approved, five families could move into new homes on the reserve. Twenty hectares of mixedwood forest would be cleared and graded for the development and utilities.
Key Issues
- Should 20 hectares of mature forest be cleared for housing development?
- Are the environmental impacts of the land clearing acceptable?
