Pathway Project for Active Transportation at Tataskweyak Cree Nation
FY 2025-26 · 2025-11-20
Summary
Tataskweyak Cree Nation is planning to build a 7.97km asphalt pathway that will have benches and be lit by solar lighting to increase safety and connect all the homes and important landmarks in our community. Building this path would allow more community members to safely use active transportation methods such as walking, cycling, rollerblading, skateboarding or other means, which will result in a much healthier community.
This pathway would connect a number of other key community landmarks that this path will connect including:
- Split Lake Nursing Station
- Band Administration Office
- The Northern Store
- Awasis Agency of Northern Manitoba
- The Kistepinanik Hotel
- Our Arena
- A Nation-owned Co-Op that is currently under construction and will be completed this Fall
- Tataskweyak Cree Nation Head Start Centre
- Chief Sam Cook Mahmuwee Education Centre
- Over 250 Community Homes with Indigenous Residents
- A Women’s Transitional Center that we’re currently planning with support from the CMHC
- A new playground that has been built next to one of our housing communities
- Our community Church at the East end of the path, near an important historical site
Building a safely lit path to connect our community will give our community greater opportunities to revitalize our language and land-based healing practices, which would help connect us back to our roots and restore our health to the standards that all Canadians deserve to have. By having this path, it will encourage more of our community members to walk, cycle, etc which will lead to more physical exercise using Active Transportation.

Description (French)
La nation crie de Tataskweyak prévoit de construire un sentier asphalté de 7,97 km qui sera équipé de bancs et éclairé par des lampes solaires afin d'accroître la sécurité et de relier toutes les maisons et tous les points de repère importants de notre communauté. La construction de ce sentier permettra à un plus grand nombre de membres de la communauté d'utiliser en toute sécurité des moyens de transport actifs tels que la marche, le vélo, le patin à roues alignées, la planche à roulettes ou d'autres moyens, ce qui se traduira par une communauté beaucoup plus saine.
Ce sentier relierait un certain nombre d'autres points de repère importants de la communauté, dont les suivants:
- Le poste de soins infirmiers de Split Lake
- Le bureau d'administration de la bande
- Le magasin Northern
- Agence Awasis du Nord du Manitoba
- L'hôtel Kistepinanik
- Notre aréna
- Une coopérative appartenant à la nation qui est actuellement en construction et qui sera achevée cet automne
- Centre d'aide préscolaire de la Nation crie de Tataskweyak
- Centre d'éducation Chief Sam Cook Mahmuwee
- Plus de 250 maisons communautaires avec des résidents autochtones
- Un centre de transition pour femmes que nous sommes en train de planifier avec le soutien de la SCHL
- Un nouveau terrain de jeu a été construit à côté de l'une de nos communautés d'habitation
- Notre église communautaire à l'extrémité est du sentier, près d'un important site historique
La construction d'un chemin éclairé en toute sécurité pour relier notre communauté donnera à celle-ci de meilleures possibilités de revitaliser notre langue et nos pratiques de guérison basées sur la terre, ce qui nous aidera à retrouver nos racines et à rétablir notre santé selon les normes que tous les Canadiens méritent d'avoir. Ce sentier encouragera un plus grand nombre de membres de notre communauté à marcher, à faire du vélo, etc., ce qui favorisera l'exercice physique grâce au transport actif.
