The North West Company Inc. is proud of the active role we play within the communities we serve, striving to make a positive, progressive difference. Our contributions within the community of Fond du Lac Denes??iné First Nation, SK are a testament to our commitment. The community of Fond du Lac Denes??iné First Nation was founded as a community over 150 years ago. Fond du Lac is a geographic name meaning “far end of the lake.” The community is located in the boreal forest area of northern Saskatchewan on the east side of Lake Athabasca, and lies approximately 60 km south of the Northwest Territories border and about 1,275 km northwest of Prince Albert. Fond du Lac is a remote community as there are no road connections, and it is accessible only by air year round. The community can also be accessed by boat in the summer and by an ice road during the winter that connects it with Stony Rapids. The community of Fond du Lac has a population of 903 residents (per 2016 Census, Statistics Canada) living on reserve and about 1,300 to 1,400 living off reserve (as per Fond du Lac website). Dene is the first language spoken by many but English is also widely spoken.
