Transportation

                                                  Most people in our First Nation have their own vehicles. We
                                                  travel on Highway 45, a well-maintained highway that comes
                                                  right through our territory. This route provides easy access to
                                                  local towns and cities and attracts people to our retail shops. All
                                                  types of vehicles, including cars and heavy transport trucks, use
                                                  this road.

                                                  The speed limit through our community has been reduced
                                                  from 80 kilometres per hour to 70 kilometres per hour. With
                                                  the number of retail establishments, like the Tall Teepee, which
                                                  continue to grow, some of our members would like to see the
                                                  speed limit brought down even further to 50 or 60 kilometers
                                                  per hour. They are hoping to reduce the chance of accidents.
                                                  Perhaps we will see this change in the near future.
