Supporting safe wastewater treatment and boosting sustainable economic growth
Fast facts
We are investing $27.3 million to enable a new Indigenous-owned and operated wastewater treatment facility and critical infrastructure on English River First Nation’s (ERFN) Grasswoods Urban Reserve. The 135-acre reserve is currently being developed by Des Nedhe Group, ERFN’s economic development arm.
The scalable facility will also allow ERFN to provide wastewater treatment services to the neighbouring rural municipality of Corman Park.
Benefits of CIB’s Involvement
By tapping into our Indigenous Community Infrastructure Initiative, ERFN and Des Nedhe Group are able to access affordable capital to accelerate and future-proof their community.
