A member of the Long Plain First Nation spoke to the Rotary Club yesterday.

 

General Manager for the Arrowhead Development Corporation Tim Daniels explains the First Nation has plans for a hotel, a strip mall, and housing to all be completed by next summer.

He adds they share their good fortunes with Portage by supporting a variety of groups and events. Daniels notes they have bought land in Winnipeg and hope to develop it in the next few years. The housing they hope to develop is not social housing but residential, which will add profit to the band.
