The Proposed Project

Sunchild First Nation proposes to construct a 4 km road to access future residential lots and a sanitary lagoon on an undeveloped area south of the Baptiste River on its Sunchild No. 202 reserve lands. The location will require vegetation clearing, topographical survey, geotechnical investigation, earthwork, and construction of the roadway. The clearing area is approximately 11 hectares.
