The Province of Saskatchewan is investing an estimated $3.6 million to pave the access road off Highway 3 to the Mistawasis First Nation in partnership with the First Nation and the RM of Canwood."This First Nation Access Road pilot project recognizes that in order for the Mistawasis First Nation to participate more fully in the provincial economy, they need better road access to Highway 3," Belanger said. "This is one of several pilot projects the province is funding under our First Nations Access Road program to provide those crucial links."
"There are over 1,000 people living on the Mistawasis First Nation," Sonntag said. "By paving the access road, we are helping them to take full advantage of jobs and services in the surrounding areas, encouraging economic development, and building a better future for the young people in this community."
"We are pleased with the provincial government's contribution to make the road more reliable," Chief Daryl Watson said. "At times during the year, this road is in poor condition. Improving the road is something we have been working toward for many years. It will mean greater economic development and tourism opportunities as well easier access for ambulance and health care services into our community."
The RM of Canwood, which operates 6.4 km of the road to the First Nation, will manage the road-building project on behalf of the provincial government. The design and engineering phase will be completed in 2007, with on-road construction taking place in 2008.
"This is an exciting opportunity to improve access within the RM as well as the Mistawasis First Nation," RM of Canwood Reeve Richard Porter said. "Through the tendering process, we will work toward providing residents of the Mistawasis First Nation with employment opportunities associated with this project."
First Nations Access Roads are a key component of the province's long-term strategy to fundamentally realign the transportation network, known as Transportation for Economic Advantage. This 10-year, $5 billion commitment will focus investment on transportation projects to meet the current and future demands of our thriving and diverse economy. The plan will also emphasize building relationships between parties with the greatest interest in the transportation network.
Other pilot projects announced under this strategy include surfaced access roads to the Big River, Witchekan Lake, Red Earth and Shoal Lake First Nations, as well as the All Nations Healing Hospital near Fort Qu'Appelle.
