Grasswoods Urban Reserve Wastewater Treatment Facility

This unique partnership with English River First Nation, Des Nedhe Group, the Rural Municipality of Corman Park and Saskatchewan Water Corporation, enabled by CIB financing, signals an important step towards economic reconciliation. We look forward to ensuring we can advance future economic development for years to come.

Innovative business ventures like the one we’re creating between Des Nedhe Group, English River First Nation and our partners have the power to not just drive revenue in the short term, but most importantly, support long-term self-determination for the community. At Grasswoods Urban Reserve, we’re leading the way with progressive environmental technologies and creating a sustainable future where economic success and environmental stewardship go hand in hand.

Investments in essential infrastructure like modern wastewater treatment facilities are crucial to building strong, healthy communities. With the help of the CIB’s loan and operational training support from the Saskatchewan Water Corporation, English River First Nation will have the capacity to grow the Grasswoods Urban Reserve to accommodate a growing population and more economic opportunities.
