Dene Tha’ First Nation applied for and successfully received funding through the Lands and Economic Development Service Program (LEDSP). This funding will support the completion of a Strategic Economic Development Plan.
As part of the plan, we are engaging Nation members through interviews, community workshops and this survey. This survey aims to collect input from Nation members on their economic challenges, priorities, opportunities and values. This plan will guide the Nation in sustainable community economic development and will help in future decision making.
