OCN Now Owns Land and Housing in the Big Eddy Settlement.

 

The Manitoba government has transferred the ownership of land in the Big Eddy settlement to the Opaskwayak Cree Nation.  That includes several homes previously owned and managed by Manitoba Housing.  Eleven houses, three duplexes and 14 vacant lots have been sold for a nominal amount.  The Manitoba government will provide 200 thousand dollars to OCN to address needed repairs at some of the properties while OCN will also be making additional investments to upgrade the properties.

             

Chief Christian Sinclair says ownership of land and housing in the Big Eddy Settlement will enable the Cree Nation of manage and upgrade the existing housing for OCN members who live there and they will continue to work toward the eventual designation of the land as reserve in fulfillment of their treaty entitlement agreement.

             

In 1999 the land in the Big Eddy settlement was identified by OCN as part of a treaty entitlement agreement.
