Nakoda Emergency Services (NES) director Reg Fountain said he is “cautiously optimistic” about the next three years of the project as it hasn’t budged much in the provincial budget since it was earmarked in 2019. The 29-kilometre section of Highway 1A – about 6.7 metres wide and with no shoulder on either side – has been a public safety issue for decades.

“I want to make sure we are working with Exposed Wildlife Conservancy to share the message of what they are all about so people understand when they see these cameras."

The province is making its largest ever contribution to the development of authentic, Indigenous-owned and operated visitor experiences to diversify Alberta’s rural tourism economy.

“When you look at our plan and some of the characteristics, first and foremost, it’s First Nations-focused. We’re trying to address housing and labour, which is a big issue right now. There’s transportation, sustainability, and there’s environmentally friendly aspects of this project in terms of reducing carbon footprint.”

“We will be compensating teams of teachers to work in the summer to prepare curriculum support documents. It is their choice and option to participate. Those teachers then work to prepare the curriculum support documents.”
