SERPENT RIVER FIRST NATION – Serpent River First Nation (SRFN) celebrated the completion of a newly constructed five-plex housing unit in Cutler, Ont., with a Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony held on October 9.

“The completion of these housing units represents a meaningful investment in the future of our members,” said Serpent River First Nation Chief Wilma‑Lee Johnston. “We are proud to see this project come to life and to continue creating opportunities for growth and well-being within our community.”

SRFN’s long-term community development strategy is committed to providing for the housing needs of community members. Not unlike other First Nations, SRFN has put housing on its ‘to-do list’ when looking at community development projects. The five-plex is another milestone in SRFN’s continuous ongoing efforts to provide new housing for community members both on and off-reserve.
