Little Pine First Nation school participates in Elder housing project
A new venture in Little Pine First Nation will serve both the young and the old of the community.
Your Choice Homes, an organization that assists First Nations communities through housing and education projects, partnered with the Saskatchewan Apprenticeship and Trade Certification Commission and Chief Little Pine School to build homes for what will become an Elder’s village.
About 12 students between the ages of 15-18 will assist in the construction of the first tiny house, getting a unique educational experience in the process.
Dignitaries, along with the project heads and the participating students, held a Ground Breaking Ceremony last week to mark the beginning of the eight week process. This involved an opening prayer and song, with different speakers taking turns during the ceremony.
