Description:
Bigstone Cree Nation consists of six Reserves and 5 fee simple land parcels purchased through the Treaty Land Entitlement process. More than 5,400 people inhabit BCN Traditional Territory; including over 3,000 residents on the Reserves. Generally, the Reserves are surrounded by undeveloped land; however, there are three hamlets (Wabasca-Desmarais, Sandy Lake, and Calling Lake) that provide various services to BCN Reserves. An Active Transportation Plan is needed for Bigstone to provide residents with a safe and convenient space to travel by foot, by wheelchair (or other assistive device) or by bicycle. The focus of the Bigstone Active Transportation Plan will be on the Ka’Asom’skaski and Nimiscikosihk Reserves (Wabasca 166A), located next to Wabasca-Desmarais, to provide connections between key destinations within these Reserves and to the adjacent hamlet.
