The Proposed Project

Smith's Landing First Nation is proposing to develop five lots (Phase 1a) of a larger proposed subdivision within NE-33-126-11-W4 within its lands at Thabacha Nare No. 196A. The Project will include the build up and grading of lands, constructions of access roads, storm water ditches (ditch and culverts), and a gravel walking path. Residences will be serviced with shallow utilities (power, gas, communication), water and sewer will be provided with cistern and septic tanks, and houses are to be built on three of the five lots.
