Lac Seul Injects Cash into Community Infrastructure

Economic prosperity in Lac Seul.


That's what the First Nation is hoping now that's its invested over 16-million dollars of its own money into infrastructure and economic development projects.

Chief Clifford Bull says more than 6-million is being spent on fixing unsafe roads.

The other major project is the construction of a Regional Convention Centre.

Bull says the 8-million dollar initiative has the potential to become an economic development hub bringing together organizations from across the Province.

Bull notes other planned projects include a commercial rice farm, training facility, a log manufacturing plant, heritage centre and long-term care centre.
