Land Purchase in R.M. of St.Clements, MB
Peguis Child and Family Services (the Agency) is excited to announce the purchase of 5.7 acres in St.Clements, MB. The riverfront properties are located alongside the historic St.Peter’s Old Stone Church.
As part of the Honouring our Children, Families and Nation Act, the Agency negotiated Capital Projects as part of this agreement to provide child and family services to membership to prevent children from coming into care. With a concentration of Peguis members living in the Selkirk area, the Agency has been looking for property to better provide services and programming to these members.
Purchase Price: $380,000.00 Size: 5.7 Acres Date of Possession: June 28, 2024
Property Descriptions: 0 Stone Church Road, St.Clements and 1 Stone Church Road, St.Clements
The land acquired is located in the former St.Peter’s Reserve. The repatriation of this property acknowledges and signifies the unjust loss our members experienced being removed from our traditional lands. This purchase was seen as an opportunity for the Agency to secure an asset that would provide adequate space for development in the Selkirk area. The property may be used for:
· Monument to signify our history in this territory
· Land based education area for members
· Gathering place for members
· Debinan Youth Programming
· To host Peguis First Nation events
The Agency looks forward to hosting a community gathering and ceremony, in the near future, at this property.
