Pimicikamak Cree Nation had a sod-turning ceremony for their new infrastructure projects yesterday.

The ceremony was for the new $55 million Cross Lake Hospital and a $27 million Project Charter.

Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak’s press release states the new hospital was announced in 2016, and has finally come to fruition after many negotiations with the federal government.

Meanwhile, the Project Charter was developed so that it would give an opportunity to hire their own people, utilize their own companies, and keep economic benefits with the First Nation.
