We are NO longer going with the usual square block fishing area with holes 10' apart. I have designed it in a rectangle shape, with holes 15' apart and measures 2, 250ftX225ft so plenty of room this year! Good luck and thank you to everyone planning on coming out to support our local derby.

On behalf of The Chief & Council of Montreal Lake Cree Nation, Sports & Recreation program, we would like to acknowledge the hard work and commitment to the recent community event: the 35th Annual Winter Festival. Without the assistance of Sports & Recreation Program, Education Program, Montreal Lake Cree Nation Employees, Administration Program, Housing Program, and ICFS Employees on their contribution, the past event would not have been a successful as it was.

The staff and directors from the contributing programs have not only supported their community, they have also given the youth and community more opportunities in the area of minor sports.

Once again, we thank you for your dedication on making this another successful year.

Police are looking for tips after the band office and RCMP detachment on the Montreal Lake Cree Nation was deliberately set on fire. Police say a fire started in the building at around 9:30 a.m. Monday. A number of people were evacuated and an RCMP member used fire extinguishers to help put out the flames, said RCMP Cpl. Rob King. The fire, which has been deemed an arson, started on the second floor of the building and was limited to three of the band’s administrative offices, police said. The RCMP detachment, which is on the main floor of the building, sustained some smoke damage.

The fire is being investigated by a number of local and provincial agencies including the Prince Albert Grand Council fire investigator, the provincial government’s fire investigation branch and the Waskesiu RCMP. Members from the Prince Albert identification unit and Meadow Lake police dog services are also participating in the investigation. The Montreal Lake Cree Nation has a volunteer fire department, but it was not able to help with the fire Monday, officials said. Duane McKay, the province’s fire commissioner, said small and northern communities often have limited firefighting personnel. The lack of a fire department was an issue earlier this year when two people were killed in a house fire in nearby Timber Bay. It took emergency dispatchers about half an hour to find a fire department willing to drive to the community near Montreal Lake, which is about 250 kilometres north of Saskatoon. Eventually, the Buckland fire department, based just outside Prince Albert, responded to the fire, but it was too late to save the house or the two people trapped inside.

McKay said fire departments are usually made up of volunteers who spend a lot of their time training and even fundraising for their local programs. Many structure fires now involve increased risk as firefighters must deal with plastics and other significant dangers during an incident, he said. “They do this in their spare time,” McKay added. “The dangers are significant (and) just for a community to sustain that is a chore.” McKay expects investigators will have a preliminary report on the Montreal Lake fire within the next few days. He said fire prevention is still the best way to ensure the safety of a community. “You can respond to a fire or you can prevent a fire,” he added. No one from the Montreal Lake Cree Nation band office could be reached for comment on Monday.
