Child and Family Services Building for Pelican Lake First Nation
Official title: Pelican Lake Child and Family Services Facility
Pelican Lake First Nation wants to build a facility for child and family prevention services on their land in Saskatchewan. The project includes a 6,000 square foot service building and a storage building for buses and equipment.
Why This Matters
This project would bring child and family support services directly to the community. Right now, families may have to travel off-reserve to access these services. For Pelican Lake First Nation members, this means culturally appropriate support closer to home.
What Could Change
If approved, the First Nation could develop land and construct two buildings totaling 12,000 square feet. The facility would deliver prevention services designed to be culturally and age appropriate for community members.
Key Issues
- Should the land development and construction be approved for child and family services?
- What are the potential environmental impacts of the proposed development?
Indigenous Consultation
This consultation requires engagement with Indigenous communities under the Crown's duty to consult.
