September 2023

Saddle Lake Elementary School – also known as Onchaminahos Elementary School – is a new 4,324m2 K-6 school being built in the Saddle Lake Indian Reserve No. 125. The facility must not only accommodate 21st Century Learning, it also needs to be a space that is culturally relevant to honour First Nation culture and traditions. A significant component of this engagement was ensuring Saddle Lake Cree Nation member involvement and other First Nation, Metis or Inuit involvement in the project. This project is currently under construction, and we continue to proactively solicit our trades/supplier contacts to ensure they are diligent in using the local workforce as well.

We have recently engaged with JEN COL Construction to build our new school here at Saddle Lake Cree Nation. Our relationship may have just started, but we have been impressed by the dedication of the JEN COL team in collaborating and working with our community. The team we are working with, from the Superintendent to the Project Manager to the President of the company, is committed to working with us to build an inviting and culturally significant school our community will be proud to attend.
