What happened
Indigenous Services Canada provided $15 million for a temporary school project at Waterhen Lake First Nation. The funding covers site preparation, connections to essential services, 17 ready-to-move units, and fencing and deck construction. This temporary facility will serve students from kindergarten to grade 12 until a permanent school is built in the community.

Why it matters
The expenditure represents a significant government investment in local infrastructure and education services. The project, which replaces a school destroyed by fire in May 2024, ensures continuity of education in the community. Planning is now underway for a permanent replacement facility.
