Waterhen Lake First Nation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

With a population of approximately 1600 members, the Waterhen Lake First Nation leadership directs their efforts to bringing beneficial opportunities to its band members in the form of capital projects, health and social programming and cultural activities. Located east of the Meadow Lake Provincial Park in Northwest Saskatchewan, the Waterhen Lake First Nation covers approximately 20,000 acres of land. The community is home to a newly built health center, a Kindergarten to Grade twelve school, confectionary and numerous other community facilities. The community’s economy relies heavily on the forestry industry in the region, as well as the tourism and farming industries. Waterhen Lake First Nation members have many established business operations including the band-owned M & N Resort on the shores of Waterhen Lake, eco-tourism guiding businesses, cattle operations, and a bison ranch. All opportunities are pursued in the hopes of creating more employment for band members, generating income for the community and developing a sustainable healthy community.
