This is being accomplished through the following vision elements:
- Band Owned Infrastructure

- More Economic Growth and Development
- Paved roads to the Pas and Nipawin
- Environmental and Safety for the Community
- Preservation of Language and Culture
- Community College-University Facility
- Pikiskwestamihnam – Ayameestamiyan (speak for us)
- Wichitowin – Wichikekamik (helping each other)
- Social Intervention and Expanded Educational Services

Six Key obstacles block our vision.
They are:
- Fear of being judged blocks community people from participating;
- Conflict among adults (gossip, etc) blocks children’s capacity to see the positive/have hope for the future;
- Old debt loads block moving forward;
- Leadership non attendance at key meetings blocks growth;
- Ignorance and apathy blocks productive participation; and
- Limited course offerings blocks students from succeeding.
