Housing Expansion at Stanley Mission - Loon Lake Subdivision Phase 3

Official title: Lac La Ronge Indian Band Stanley Mission - Loon Lake Subdivision Stage 3

Closed Environmental Assessment Housing & Communities Indigenous & Northern
The Lac La Ronge Indian Band wants to build 87 new residential lots at Stanley Mission in northern Saskatchewan. This is Phase 3 of a larger subdivision plan that's been in the works since 2003. The project would add roads, water and sewer connections, natural gas, power, and telecommunications to the new lots.

Why This Matters

This project addresses housing needs in a remote First Nations community. If you're a member of the Lac La Ronge Indian Band or live in Stanley Mission, this could mean more housing options for your community. The environmental review ensures the development protects local water and land.

What Could Change

If approved, 87 new residential lots would be built south of the existing subdivision. New infrastructure would include extended water and sewer systems, fire hydrants every 150 metres, local roads, walking paths, and street lights. The design aims to preserve trees and natural barriers between lots.

Key Issues

  • Will the existing water supply and treatment systems handle 87 additional lots?
  • How will the project minimize environmental impact on the natural landscape?
  • Is the wastewater collection system adequate for the expanded subdivision?
