Opaskwayak Cree Nations Chief and Vice Chief recently announced their joint venture with the Paskwayak Business Development Corporation and S&J Construction to repair existing concrete asphalt roads and turn all existing gravel roads into pavement.

The 6.7 million dollar project will see over 16 new paved roads built, 6 existing main roads repaired, and 15 parking lots redone.

Chief Christian Sinclair says the best part of this venture is that S&J construction has committed to hiring OCN members that will contribute to building safer roads.
