New efforts aim to make Sask. First Nations communities safer
It’s the first of its kind in Saskatchewan.
The Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations and the Saskatchewan First Nation Safety Association signed a memorandum of understanding on Tuesday in an effort to address safety concerns in First Nations communities across the province.
Founder of the association, Toby Desnomie, said they have a big job ahead, one they’re going to tackle one step at a time.
“The first thing is identifying hazards and what kind of hazards are in the community,” Desnomie said. “A needs assessment has to be done.”
