A sod turning ceremony was held to celebrate the start of a major construction project that is hoped will lead to the revitalization of the Pleasant Hill neighbourhood in Saskatoon. Chief Felix Thomas speaking on behalf of the Saskatoon Tribal Council said, “In an area that has the highest concentration of First Nations residents in the city of Saskatoon, the development of a new school and new housing stock can only serve to better the hope, morale, and aspirations of all Pleasant Hill residents.”
