WHERE WE COME FROM

Western Cree Tribal Council is a First Nation organization dedicated to delivering services devolved or handed over from the federal and provincial governments to First Nation communities. WCTC’s main roles deal with the coordination and delivering of services to three First Nation communities. The three First Nation communities of the WCTC are: Duncan’s First Nation, Horse Lake First Nation and Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation.
