The Proposed Project

Kashechewan First Nation is proposing to construct a micro-subdivision in a pre-cleared area located west of South Lane and southwest of the Youth Centre development. This micro-subdivision would be 130 m long and include 23 proposed lots (2 - 15 m wide x 30 m long, 21 - 10 m x 30 m = 7,200 m2 total). Physical activities will include:

  • 80 m extension of watermain servicing, including installation of four fire hydrants and two watermain valves;
  • 80 m extension of sanitary servicing (community gravity sewage collection system), including the installation of 235 m sanitary sewer and five sanitary maintenance holes to connect into the existing sanitary sewer on Wabusk Street;
  • 80 m extension of the hydro servicing lines, including installation of 220 m of overhead hydro lines and nine hydro poles; And
  • An 80 m road extension to reach the start of the development.

This project is required to address the community's ongoing housing shortage crisis.
