Gas station, convenience store proposed by Nekaneet First Nation

Regina is looking at having a fifth urban First Nations reserve within its boundaries.

Nekaneet First Nation’s main land base is about 390 kilometres southwest of Regina, but it’s looking to set up an urban reserve at 4400 Diefenbaker Dr. on the north edge of the city.

If all goes according to plan, the site will be home to a gas station and convenience store.

The band will have to apply to Aboriginal and Northern Affairs Canada to convert the property into reserve land.
