By Rosalind Russell – A groundbreaking was held earlier this week for a new social services building to centralize services in Mississauga First Nation.
Representatives from Mississauga First Nation and Nogdawindamin Family and Community Services gathered Monday for the event.
In a news release, Chief Brent Niganobe said it will create many positive benefits for the community, provide a new workspace for workers and encourage more residents to participate in social services programming.
Niganobe says the Sawmill Road project received $13 million from Indigenous Services Canada with the new building expected to open in the fall of 2026.
He adds it took over two years of planning and fund seeking with design work finalized by Architecture 49 and the construction tender being awarded to Renokrew.
