The new venture is a partnership with Lake Country Co-op and Federated Co-operatives Ltd.’s new brand, Western Nations, which supports and supplies First Nation-owned fuel stations.
Ermine explained through collaboration with Western Nations, they were able to embed Sturgeon Lake First Nation traditions and values in the design of the fuel station.
“The values that we hold, in terms of the design, it was really important we incorporate that in some way, so the tipi theme was sort of a no brainer,” Ermine said, adding other First Nation elements will be part of the building’s architecture and interior design.
