A Letter from Chief Larson Anderson
For the past eight years, I have had the honour of serving Norway House Cree Nation with the support of dedicated nominators and community members who believed in steady, responsible leadership.
To those who have stood behind me, encouraged me, and supported this work — thank you. Your trust has meant everything.
The progress we have made together — restoring stability, strengthening services, creating opportunity — was only possible because of the confidence you placed in me and in our leadership team.
I do not take that support lightly.
Serving this Nation is not just a role — it is a responsibility I carry with pride, as someone born and raised here and committed to building a stronger future for the next generation.
I look forward to seeing everyone on voting day and continuing this important work together.
Ekosani.
— Chief Larson

Building Opportunity for the Next Generation
Norway House's future depends on the opportunities we create for young people today.
Under Stable & Strong Leadership, investments have focused on creating spaces, connectivity, and training opportunities that give youth the tools they need to learn, grow, and thrive — right here at home.
A Community Hub for Youth
The Kinosao Sipi Multiplex continues to be upgraded and improved to ensure it remains a central hub for the community.
This space provides opportunities for youth to stay active, build friendships, develop skills, and gather in a safe environment.
Whether it's hockey, skating, community events, or organized programming, the multiplex is a place where young people grow in confidence and community pride.
A Space to Grow
The Mission Island Gym was originally built with the intention of serving as a gym and daycare space — and continues to offer flexible use for youth and families.
With a brand-new playground and adaptable indoor space, it can support sports, fitness programs, daycare activities, and community gatherings.
Recreation & Life Skills
The swimming pond provides youth with a safe place to enjoy summer in the community.
More importantly, it creates opportunities for young people to learn vital life skills — including learning to swim — building confidence and safety awareness around water.
Connecting the Next Generation
Reliable connectivity is essential for today's youth.
Improvements to cell service, Wi-Fi, and fiber infrastructure mean young people can complete schoolwork and access online learning, develop digital skills, stay connected with family and friends, explore career pathways, and connect and play online, including gaming.
Celebrating Culture & Identity
York Boat Days is more than a celebration — it strengthens cultural pride and community belonging.
Youth can participate in traditions, connect with Elders, and build a deeper understanding of their identity.
Building Skills for the Future
The new trades building creates pathways for youth to gain practical skills and pursue careers without leaving the community.
It can support hands-on training, certification opportunities, and local workforce development.
Investing in youth means investing in the long-term strength of Norway House Cree Nation.
Stable & Strong Leadership means creating the conditions where young people can learn, connect, develop skills, and build their futures — right here at home.
