The Proposed Project

The proposed Prevention building under the CHRT 41 guidance is situated centrally in the community and is of walking distance to existing community buildings, such as the community administration building, the current Long Plain First Nation school, a day care centre, DOCFS, and Jordan's Principle building along Yellow Quill Trail. The total area is 2, 457m². 

 

The DOCFS prevention building will consist of a large program area (central), a teaching kitchen with ample storage for security practices, full-size gymnasium, youth, and feast area, additional program and training rooms, and a round cultural room. As well, as an outdoor gathering space, and learning space, with access to land-based learning infrastructure. Other programs include staff offices, a fitness room, a garage & storage room for tools and vehicles, and a new parking and gravel road to accommodate access to the CFS facility.

 

The project is in Treaty One Territory, the traditional territories of the Anishinabe, Cree, and Dakota people, the homeland of the Métis Nation and within the Recognized Métis Harvesting Zone (Manitoba Metis Federation 2021).
