Feds Invest in Rural Saskatchewan Transportation

Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Canada

The federal government is investing more than $4.4 million in transportation infrastructure projects across rural Saskatchewan.

Through the funding, Cowessess First Nation will buy electric vehicles and set up charging stations, while also building a maintenance facility to support public transportation services for on-reserve community members.

The Sturgeon Lake First Nation will build a pedestrian bridge that connects the community with nearby resources and services. Currently, pedestrian access to these amenities requires walking across a narrow bridge shared with vehicular traffic, which has resulted in several injuries and near-misses due to poor sightlines.

A detailed list of the projects can be found in the attached backgrounder.
