A new wellness center northeast of Turtleford for the Thunderchild First Nation will soon start construction.
Both the provincial and federal governments are committing a combined $18 million towards the project.
The wellness center will include offices for a dentist and a doctor, a pharmacy, social and child care facilities, a full-sized ice rink, and a field house.
It will also provide meeting and community gathering space.
The centre will serve Thunderchild First Nation and the surrounding communities of Turtleford, St. Walburg, Edam, Spruce Lake, Mervin, Live Long, Glaslyn, Turtle Lake, Witchekan Lake, Pelican Lake, Makwa Lake, and Loon Lake.
While primarily focused on serving First Nations communities, it will be open to all.
Ottawa is committing $13.5 million, while the province is pledging $4.5 towards the build.
