Proposed toll booth on Keeley Lake not advised: Ministry of Environment
The Ministry of Environment is warning the Canoe Lake Cree Nation about erecting a toll booth for public access to Keeley Lake.
A fee is being proposed for anglers as there is a dispute about over harvesting on the Lake with the Canoe Lake Fisherman’s Cooperative.
“The Ministry recognizes the importance of the commercial fishery to the fishers of the Canoe Lake Cree First Nation, however the continued failure of the cooperative to control harvest and remain within the annual quota is putting the sustainability of Keeley Lake at risk,” said Environment Minister Warren Kaeding in letter to the First Nation.

PRINCE ALBERT Two Saskatchewan women are leading the creation of two apps that teach their traditional Indigenous languages. Gwen Cubbon, a 36-year-old from the Canoe Lake Cree First Nation, grew up speaking Cree but it wasn’t until she went to school that she learned English. Since moving from her home community, she’s lost a lot of the Cree language, but is working on regaining it. “I just want to be an advocate for people my age and people who are really wanting to learn that it is possible,” she said. Cubbon is hoping her app is an accessible way of learning the Cree language that’s specific to Canoe Lake, which also contains a small amount of Michif.
