Muskoday First Nation celebrated the grand opening of their new community water plant on Thursday, an event that community members, elders and councillors said will bring long-term benefits.
“This is a great day for Muskoday First Nation to commemorate, as this new water treatment plant facility gives the Nation the ability to enhance the distribution of safe, purified and clean drinking water to the community and beyond,” Muskoday First Nation Chief Ronald Bear Muskoday said in a press release.
“This state-of-the-art water treatment plant ensures the people of Muskoday First Nation have direct access to an abundance of this Sacred Essential Element (Water) to live, thrive and survive for generations to come.”
Representatives from Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) were on hand for the event. The new facility provided for a safe and reliable water supply to all homes on reserve, as well as to community buildings such as the administration building and band hall, the community health centre, elementary school, Awasis Daycare, post office, gas bar and convenience store.
