Construction of a new fire station for Anicinabe community of Lac Simon

Over the past few years, the community has experienced steady growth and is now comprised of approximately 2,000 inhabitants and, according to all indications, it will experience sustained growth over the next few years. To support this growth, the community wishes to build a new fire station on the land adjacent to the existing fire station. The existing fire station will be reused for another purpose.
