ECN On-Reserve Housing

The Enoch Cree Nation ("ECN") Enabling Infrastructure for On-Reserve Housing Project involves the construction of enabling infrastructure to support the development of ~166 new residential units on ECN reserve lands as part of the Millennium Housing Development. The Project includes roads, water and wastewater systems, utilities, grading, lot servicing, and behind-the –meter solar to improve energy efficiency and reduce long-term utility costs for residents. The Project forms part of ECN's broader housing strategy to address critical housing shortages and overcrowding within the community. The enabling infrastructure will support the delivery of affordable housing for ECN members and facilitate long-term community growth on reserve.
