Housing Lot Development for Wabauskang First Nation
Official title: Wabauskang First Nation - Lot Servicing Project (20)
Wabauskang First Nation wants to prepare 20 residential lots for future housing. Seven lots will fill gaps between existing homes, while 13 will be in a new development area on the northwest side of the community. The work includes clearing land, installing water and sewer connections, and preparing foundations.
Why This Matters
This project addresses housing needs in an Indigenous community. For Wabauskang First Nation members, it means more homes could be built where families need them. The environmental review ensures the work protects local land and water.
What Could Change
If approved, the First Nation can proceed with site preparation for 20 new housing lots. This includes clearing, grading, and installing utility connections. Future housing construction would follow once lots are serviced.
Key Issues
- Will the land clearing and grading affect the local environment?
- Are water and wastewater services adequate for 20 new lots?
Indigenous Consultation
This consultation requires engagement with Indigenous communities under the Crown's duty to consult.
