New Health Clinic for Little Pine First Nation
Official title: Little Pine First Nation Health Clinic
Little Pine First Nation is building a new health clinic to replace their current aging facility. The new 1,300 square metre building will be run by Battle River Treaty 6 Health Centre and offer expanded health and wellness programs that don't fit in the existing space.
Why This Matters
This project directly affects Little Pine First Nation community members who rely on local healthcare. The current clinic is too small and outdated to meet the community's needs. A modern facility means better access to health services without travelling far from home.
What Could Change
A new health clinic will be built in the Little Pine First Nation community. The facility will connect to existing utilities and is designed to last at least 50 years. New health and wellness programs could become available that weren't possible before.
Key Issues
- Environmental impacts of constructing a new health facility on First Nation land
- Connection to existing water, sanitary, power, and natural gas infrastructure
