A Message from Chief Meeches, Long Plain First Nation

The first Urban Reserve within the city limits of Winnipeg has proven to be a very valuable economic zone for Long Plain First Nation. With the help of our partners Suncor and First Peoples Economic Growth Fund (FPEGF), Long Plain First Nation opened the Madison Petro-Canada on February 23, 2015, in the City of Winnipeg.

The staff of FPEGF understood our needs and challenges and shared our vision in developing the first Urban Reserve in Winnipeg. Today the Madison Petro-Canada has surpassed all of our expectations and we are proud to share with other First Nations a roadmap to economic development. We acknowledge the staff of FPEGF and we will continue to work with them on other important economic development projects.
