Opaskwayak Cree Nation announced the sale of the OCN Blizzard to three local business men last week but the sale still needs to be approved by MJHL’s Board of governors.

 

OCN Blizzard governor Shorty Lathlin spoke to Arctic Radio News and said the transfer of ownership stands a good chance of being approved by the league.

 

He added that if the sale is not approved they will go back to the drawing board and decide what the organization needs to do to move forward.

 

Opaskwayak Cree Nation Chief Christian Sinclair spoke to Arctic Radio recently and said that OCN has put in over 20 million dollars for the Blizzard since their inception, money that could have been used for housing, infrastructure, and social needs for the community. Sinclair says priorities need to be put in order and money needs to be put where it is most needed to improve the quality of life for people on OCN.
