Services

MLTC provides and coordinates health care, education, and social services. It also provides some policing services for member nations. It owns a series of companies which are intended to provide employment for members and economic opportunities for the communities it serves. The First Nation members are scattered around northern Saskatchewan.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, MLTC received a $387,000 grant from the Public Health Agency of Canada's Immunization Partnership Fund to increase rates of COVID-19 vaccination and decrease vaccine hesitancy among Meadow Lake First Nation communities.[2]
