The Frontier Fishing Lodge in Łutsël K é.(Submitted by Frontier Fishing Lodge)
Łutsël K é Dene First Nation is outraged that more than a year after purchasing the Frontier Fishing Lodge, they are stuck in a bureaucratic trap over permits, says Chief Darryl Marlowe.
The First Nation is concerned that unless licensing issues are resolved there won t be a business left to license, Marlowe said in a Monday news release. The crushing impacts of GNWT bureaucracy and the collapse of the tourism industry as a result of the COVID[-19] pandemic meant that 2020 was a complete write-off for the lodge, wrote Marlowe.
