$3,112,200.00
Agreement on funding police infrastructure in the community of Uashat-Maliotenam
FY 2021-22 · 2022-03-25
Summary
The project mainly consists of building a new satellite police detachment in the community of Maliotenam, which is part of the Innu Takuaikan Uashat Mak Mani-Utenam First Nation located 15 kms away from Uashat. The project also includes the repair of the current police facility in Uashat. The new 670m2 satellite police detachment will facilitate the ability of investigators to conduct interviews on site and be able to detain accused persons on a temporary basis if necessary. There will be two cells and eight offices (for investigators, liaison officers and for interview purposes) as well as separate changing rooms for women and men.
The project also includes performing an urgent repair to replace the exterior siding of the Uashat police facility that is crumbling and allowing water to seep in. The salty air is aggravating this problem and this requires repair to limit further substantive damage to the structure. It will be designed in accordance with the National Building Code, provincial policing standards and led by qualified professionals. The project assessment, made by regional Public Safety officers and Québec representatives, concluded that the cost of the project is reasonable in relation to the cost of similar facilities in Québec, the surface area, the remoteness of the location and the capacity of the community to implement this project. The Council has appointed an engineer from the firm Ashini Consultants (office in Uashat), as project manager for this project.

Description (French)
Le projet consiste principalement à construire un nouveau détachement de police satellite dans la communauté de Maliotenam qui fait partie de la Première Nation Innu Takuaikan Uashat Mak Mani-Utenam située à 15 km d'Uashat. Le projet comprend également la réparation des locaux actuels de la police à Uashat. Le nouveau détachement de police satellite de 670 m2 permettra aux enquêteurs de mener des entretiens sur place et de détenir temporairement les accusés si nécessaire. Il y aura deux cellules et huit bureaux (pour les enquêteurs, les agents de liaison et pour les entrevues) ainsi que des vestiaires séparés pour les femmes et les hommes.
Le projet comprend également la réalisation d'une réparation urgente pour remplacer le revêtement extérieur du bâtiment de police d'Uashat qui s'effondre et laisse l'eau s'infiltrer. L'air salin aggrave ce problème et cela nécessite des réparations pour limiter d'autres dommages plus importants à la structure. Il sera conçu conformément au Code national du bâtiment et aux normes policières provinciales et dirigé par des professionnels qualifiés. L'évaluation du projet, réalisée par les agents régionaux de la Sécurité publique et les représentants du Québec, a conclu que le coût du projet est raisonnable par rapport au coût d'installations similaires au Québec, selon la superficie, l'éloignement du lieu et à la capacité de la communauté de mettre en œuvre ce projet. Le Conseil a nommé un ingénieur de la firme Ashini Consultants (bureau à Uashat), comme chargé de projet pour ce projet.
Expected Results
The construction of a new police detachment in the community of Maliotenam and repair of the current facility in Uashat contributes to First Nations and Inuit communities having access to professional, dedicated and responsive policing services in safe and healthy facilities.
Expected Results (French)
La construction d'un nouveau détachement de police dans la communauté de Maliotenam et la réparation des installations actuelles à Uashat contribuent à ce que les communautés des Premières Nations et des Inuits aient accès à des services de police professionnels, dévoués et adaptés dans des installations sûres et saines.
