Description:
The project consists of building a new cell block, including an independent surveillance room, and a garage for the current police facility in the isolated community of Opticiwan. The current cell block does not comply with provincial standards and will instead be used as a storage and archive room. It will be designed in accordance with the National Building Code and provincial policing standards and will be led by qualified professionals. The project assessment, made by regional PS officers and Québec representatives, concluded that the cost of the project is reasonable in relation to the cost of similar facilities in Québec, the surface area, the remoteness of the location and the capacity of the community to implement this project. The council has appointed the technical services of their Tribal Council to manage the project and assure quality at each step.
