New provincial park raises concerns for First Nation

Lac la Ronge First Nation is concerned over the creation of Great Blue Heron Park, a new provincial park. The park is in the Anglin and Emma lake area and is  expected to begin operating this summer. Chief Tammy Cook-Searson says her people are concerned about potential losses to traditional land and access to ceremonial sites, such as burial grounds. She says they were initially told the park would be 8,200 hectares in size, but the government says it is more than 11,000. Cook-Searson says the band has not received the answers from the government that they have been looking for.
