The North West Company Pelican Narrows
Residents in Pelican Narrows, SK, now have greater and safer access to food and everyday essentials, thanks in part to the brand new Northern store which opened its doors last November.
Pelican Narrows is a Northern Saskatchewan village within a boreal forest, 388 kilometers northeast of Prince Albert, right on the shores of Pelican Lake. The community of about 2,000 residents is part of the Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation.
The new store was developed and opened in collaboration with the local community and Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation’s Chief and Council. Pelican Narrows residents will have access to fresh food, everyday household necessities, groceries, a gas bar, We Financial services, a Tim Hortons and a pharmacy.
