Comprehensive Community Plan

Approved by Council June 2020

Atikameksheng Community Story

December 2019

Comprehensive Community Planning is looking ahead at least 10 years.

  • Imagining the future we want
  • Honestly assessing what is happening now and what needs to change
  • Developing the actions needed to get us from where we are now to where we want to go

We will be hosting community sessions because we want to hear from you; that is, how to make life better for you and for everyone else. So obviously, we need to hear from you. What is happening with you? Where do you want to go in your life? What do you need? We can’t develop the community without the community.

And we are going to talk about our Nation. What do we want it to mean to be a citizen of Atikameksheng Anishnawbek? What do we imagine our Nation to be like in the future we want?
