Cumberland House Cree Nation Announces Construction of New Band Office
At the recent sod turning ceremony in Cumberland House, Saskatchewan, the Cumberland House Cree Nation marked the start of construction of its new 15,458 square foot high-performance and energy efficient band office.
The previous Cumberland House Cree Nation band office had been destroyed in a fire on December 2, 2019 and the Chief and Council had vowed to rebuild as soon as possible.
“Our Council has worked hard for the past 10 months to settle the fire claim with our insurance and today, we are happy to be able to start to rebuild using this settlement,” declared Cumberland House Cree Nation Chief Rene Chaboyer.
The new office building will once again house the band’s financial services, administrative chambers and daycare facilities.
