STURGEON LAKE FIRST NATION — An additional 128 hectares (317 acres) of undisposed Crown mineral rights are now eligible to be transferred to Sturgeon Lake First Nation under the Sturgeon Lake Treaty Land Entitlement (TLE) Settlement Agreement once the surface attains reserve status.
The Government of Saskatchewan has approved the transfer of approximately 2,093 hectares (5,171 acres) of Crown minerals to the federal government on behalf of Sturgeon Lake First Nation. This latest order has increased the total and further supports the First Nation's efforts to realize the full benefits of its Treaty land entitlement.
The Ministry of Government Relations oversees and implements the provincial responsibilities under TLE agreements, working in collaboration with Canada and 36 Entitlement First Nations across Saskatchewan.
