Road Repairs on Kawacatoose First Nation Reserve
Official title: Kawacatoose First Nation Road Repair Project
Kawacatoose First Nation wants to fix and upgrade about 36 km of roads on their reserve in Saskatchewan. The work includes clearing overgrown vegetation, repairing damaged road surfaces, adding gravel, and improving drainage. Some roads will be decommissioned entirely.
Why This Matters
This project directly affects Kawacatoose First Nation community members who rely on these roads daily. Better roads mean faster emergency response times and safer travel. Residents dealing with vehicle damage from poor road conditions would see relief.
What Could Change
If approved, 35.89 km of reserve roads would be upgraded with new gravel surfacing and drainage repairs. Some roads would be permanently closed. Construction would involve vegetation clearing and excavation work.
Key Issues
- What environmental impacts might road construction and vegetation clearing have?
- Which roads should be decommissioned versus repaired?
Indigenous Consultation
This consultation requires engagement with Indigenous communities under the Crown's duty to consult.
