Whitecap Dakota First Nation Multi-Use Trails

EF 2025-26 · 2025-10-01

Résumé
The Whitecap Dakota First Nation is proposing the development of a community wide trail system. The project will include the construction of approximately 2,700 meters of multi-use and recreational trail connecting community to residential subdivisions, commercial and resort areas, school and health care facilities, and recreational districts. The proposed trail network will provide alternative, non-motorized transportation routes and promote healthy and active lifestyles among residents. The WDFN Community Trail project will reinvent outdoor spaces, create green infrastructure and increase overall community connectivity and accessibility. In 2016, a section of the South Saskatchewan River, adjacent to the community, was designated as ‘Chief Whitecap Waterway, as part of the Trans Canada Trail. Since then, a number of initiatives have begun to provide a foundation to activate a trail system as an experience suitable for residents and visitors to enjoy. Trails are essential in creating meaningful land-based experiences. The first phase of community trail work was substantially completed in Fall 2022 with the construction of a 5km trail around the perimeter of the existing Dakota Dunes Golf Links and Resort. Key outputs of the project include: • New pathways to include approximately 2.7 kms of trail development • An alternative transportation method and recreational amenity • Public safety – pedestrians having access to a designated walking trail as opposed to the highway. Two marked highway crossings to be included. • Promoting healthier and active lifestyles E.g., Community Walking/Running Clubs • Identify potential trail connections. E.g., Trans Canada Trail, Chief Whitecap Waterway • Develop a comprehensive network through signage and wayfinding and incorporating the Dakota Language through community engagement and consultation • Project integration into larger public transit solutions at Whitecap to connect within the community and into Saskatoon. A study is currently being undertaken to identify and evaluate feasible transit solutions that can be implemented to meet the current and future needs of WDFN businesses, community members and visitors. • Establish links to future developments in the community. E.g., resort and residential plans, commercial plans, river lands, etc.

Description (French)
La Première nation dakota de Whitecap (PNDW) propose d'aménager un réseau de sentiers à l'échelle de la communauté. Le projet comprendra la construction d'environ 2 700 mètres de sentiers polyvalents et récréatifs reliant la communauté aux lotissements résidentiels, aux zones commerciales et de villégiature, aux établissements scolaires et de soins de santé, ainsi qu'aux districts récréatifs. Le réseau de sentiers proposé offrira des itinéraires de transport alternatifs non motorisés et encouragera les habitants à adopter un mode de vie sain et actif. Le projet de sentier communautaire de la PNDW réinventera les espaces extérieurs, créera une infrastructure verte et augmentera la connectivité et l'accessibilité globales de la communauté. En 2016, une section de la rivière Saskatchewan Sud, adjacente à la communauté, a été désignée « Chief Whitecap Waterway », dans le cadre du Sentier transcanadien. Depuis lors, un certain nombre d'initiatives ont commencé à jeter les bases d'un réseau de sentiers en tant qu'expérience dont les résidents et les visiteurs peuvent profiter. Les sentiers sont essentiels pour créer des expériences terrestres significatives. La première phase des travaux d'aménagement des sentiers communautaires s'est achevée à l'automne 2022 avec la construction d'un sentier de 5 km autour du périmètre de l'actuel Dakota Dunes Golf Links and Resort. Les principaux résultats du projet sont les suivants - De nouveaux sentiers comprenant environ 2,7 km de développement de sentiers. - Une méthode de transport alternative et une commodité récréative - Sécurité publique - les piétons ont accès à un sentier pédestre désigné plutôt qu'à l'autoroute. Deux passages d'autoroute marqués doivent être inclus. - Promotion de modes de vie plus sains et plus actifs (par exemple, clubs communautaires de marche/course). - Identifier les connexions potentielles entre les sentiers. Sentier transcanadien, voie navigable Chief Whitecap, etc. - Développer un réseau complet par le biais de la signalisation et de l'orientation, et intégrer la langue dakota par le biais d'un engagement et d'une consultation communautaires. - Projet d'intégration dans des solutions de transport en commun plus vastes à Whitecap afin d'établir des liens au sein de la communauté et vers Saskatoon. Une étude est en cours pour identifier et évaluer les solutions de transport en commun réalisables qui peuvent être mises en œuvre pour répondre aux besoins actuels et futurs des entreprises de la PNDW, des membres de la communauté et des visiteurs. - Établir des liens avec les développements futurs de la communauté. Par exemple, les plans de villégiature et d'habitation, les plans commerciaux, les terres riveraines, etc.
