Elliot Lake transfers land to Serpent River First Nation – SooToday.com
Elliot Lake city council voted unanimously to transfer 4.29 acres of property to Serpent River First Nation
On Monday, Elliot Lake city council considered, debated, and passed a bylaw, taking the last of their steps on a journey to transfer a former MNR property to Serpent River First Nation.
The property, “4.29 acres of municipal land known locally as the former MNR worksite on Highway 108,” is located on the lake side of Highway 108, just north of the Elliot Lake boat launch and boardwalk.
Referring to a council resolution from 2022, the memo from the Manager of Economic Development, Steve Antunes, read that the parcel “be sold for a nominal value or otherwise transferred to Serpent River First Nation in the interests of reconciliation, economic and community development and socio-cultural service delivery.”
