A seven-year-long battle between the federal government and multiple First Nations could soon end with sources suggesting a deal is nearing completion, possibly paving the way for an urban reserve at the Winnipeg site.
A seven-year-long battle between the federal government and multiple First Nations could soon end with sources suggesting a deal is nearing completion, possibly paving the way for an urban reserve at the Winnipeg site. Sources have said a deal over the land, located at the corner of Kenaston Boulevard and Grant Avenue, could be reached by as early as Nov. 30. CTV News is told the site could become a new urban reserve if an agreement over the land is indeed reached. ... Treaty Commissioner Jamie Wilson said there are 49 urban reserves in Saskatchewan but currently only one in Manitoba. ?First Nation economic development zones are part of the solution for creating economic prosperity for First Nations, which equals prosperity for the rest of the province,? said Wilson. The newly opened IKEA is located south of Kapyong on Kenaston and is predicted to regularly draw thousands of shoppers to the area, while Kapyong still sits vacant.
I guess my only choice is to be optimistic about this. It's definitely an opportunity for economic prosperity, but that's only a potential.
