Waterfront Development Project

30%

Welcome to the Mattagami First Nation Waterfront Development Project, a visionary initiative set to transform our community into a vibrant, year-round destination for both residents and visitors. With a focus on sustainable tourism and economic growth, this project represents a significant step towards creating a thriving and dynamic space.

At the heart of our endeavor is the commitment to providing an unparalleled experience for all. Mattagami First Nation has secured $82,000 in federal funding to conduct a comprehensive waterfront feasibility study and master plan. This initiative aims to explore various tourism and economic development opportunities, ensuring that every aspect of the project aligns with the unique needs and aspirations of our community.

One key stakeholder in this venture is MFN Fishing, an integral part of our community. The success of fishing tournaments, which draw numerous visitors to our region, is crucial to our economic growth. The proposed waterfront enhancements not only support the expansion of these tournaments but also promise an elevated experience for participants and attendees alike.

The envisioned projects include the establishment of a marina, an RV park, a fish hatchery, and an events center. These additions are poised to transform our waterfront into a hub of activity, catering to diverse interests and fostering a sense of community.

Community Expansion Project

57%

Embarking on a community expansion project, our aim is to foster growth and enhance the quality of life for all residents. In a carefully planned endeavor, we have identified the need to make room for additional buildings by selectively removing trees and expanding. This thoughtful approach involves a balance between progress and environmental responsibility.

Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in comprehensive mitigation measures, including tree replanting initiatives and green spaces preservation. The expansion project aims to accommodate the evolving needs of our community, creating new spaces for residents to live, work, and thrive.

Through open communication and community engagement, we ensure that this expansion aligns with the aspirations and values of our residents, promoting a harmonious blend of development and environmental stewardship for a brighter future.
