Provincial housing opened on First Nation

A grand opening was held for Buffalo Berry Place, a 12-unit rental housing development on the Whitecap Dakota First Nation. The unit marks the first time the provincial government has funded on-reserve affordable housing, which is typically federal responsibility. The provincial government supplied $1.7 million of the $2.4 million total cost of the complex. At the time of the grand opening, only one of the one and two-bedroom units remained vacant. One unit is also fully wheelchair accessible.
