Pinehouse, Saskatchewan is a small Métis community, located about 5 hours north-west of Saskatoon. Uranium development in northern Saskatchewan has led to a secretive collaboration agreement between the uranium industry (as represented by Cameco and Areva) and the Pinehouse leadership (as represented by the Village council and Kineepik Metis Local Inc.) The corporate special interest consortium, Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO), has also put pressure on Pinehouse to host nuclear radioactive waste disposal sites, for depleted uranium from nuclear reactors in eastern Canada.
Pinehouse.info has been created because of the extreme difficulties that the citizens of the Northern Village of Pinehouse have had in recent years getting access to basic information about the administration of their municipality.
