Lake Tyers
2 km²
Older First Nations residents make up a key part of the small population in Lake Tyers. It is a sparse, rural community where the typical First Nations resident is 34, which is far older than the national figure of 24. The area is very car-dependent, with almost no local shops or services nearby. While residents have easy access to nature, the community faces significant challenges with low income and low school completion rates.
