Road Upgrades on Ahtahkakoop Cree Nation Reserve Near Debden
Official title: Ahtahkakoop Cree Nation Debden Road Upgrades
Ahtahkakoop Cree Nation wants to upgrade 8.1 km of community road connecting to Highway 790. The work includes improving drainage ditches, road structure, and surface materials. Trees have already been cleared, and construction will involve excavation, culvert installation, and reseeding disturbed areas.
Why This Matters

What Could Change
If approved, the 8.1 km stretch from Highway 790 north to the reserve boundary will get new ditching, improved road structure, and better surfacing. Culverts will be installed for drainage. All disturbed areas will be reseeded after construction.
Key Issues
- What environmental impacts will the road construction have on the surrounding area?
- How will topsoil stripping and stockpiling be managed during construction?
