Beaver Lake completes water system

Members of the Beaver Lake First Nation have a better drinking-water supply, thanks to a new intake line, wet-well system and improvements to the community's water treatment plant. The projects also created employment and training opportunities for community members. Chief Emile Cardinal said that the completed projects will greatly improve the quality of life for First Nation members on the reserve. The projects were completed at a cost of $568,000. Beaver lake First Nations contributed $40,000 toward the cost, and Indian Affairs provided the remainder. (PIP)
