Update on Checkpoint Security in Pelican Narrows
Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation is advising members, residents, and visitors that security measures at the checkpoint will be strengthened.
Security personnel may conduct more thorough searches of vehicles and belongings entering the community. These efforts are intended to help identify trespassers and prevent contraband — including alcohol, weapons, and other prohibited items — from entering the community.
Enhanced safety measures may include the use of metal detection equipment and body cameras by security personnel. Fixed cameras are also in operation at the checkpoint to support safety, accountability, and documentation of activity.
These measures are temporary and are being taken to support community safety during a period of heightened concern. PBCN asks all members, residents, and visitors for their patience, cooperation, and understanding as security carries out this important work.
Please allow extra time when entering the community and be prepared to provide identification and information about your destination if requested.
PBCN thanks everyone for their part in helping keep the community safe.
