Ring Road

The city of Calgary has long desired the acquisition of lands on the reserve to build a portion of a proposed ring road. The Glenmore Reservoir, which is one of Calgary's sources of drinking water, is a major cause of traffic problems. The ring road would connect from approximately the Sarcee Trail/Glenmore Trail intersection all the way to Alberta Highway 22X, alleviating traffic congestion in the south. The proposed route of this ring road would cut across the corner of the reserve bordering the reservoir.

The Nation has built a casino on their land and the government may grant permission to do so in return for an agreement to sell the land to the government. A source of opposition to the proposed road comes from the environmental community which doesn't want to see major infrastructure built through land considered valuable to a fragile ecosystem. There have been discussions on and off regarding commencement of this project since the early 1990s. During the national day of action on June 29, 2007, the chief of the Tsuu T'ina threatened to blockade the new ring road if demands for more lands and money from the tax-payers were not met. The Calgary city council announced on July 1, 2007 that the threat of blockades will most likely result in the construction of the ring road being put on hold indefinitely. Alcohol is a problem on the reserve.
