| Community Profiles: Waterhen Lake First Nation |
 |
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.
