Pays Plat First Nation has about 200 Band Members that live across Canada. It has a land base of a square mile with a population of roughly 70 people. Pays Plat is 183 kilometres east of Thunder Bay and is near the center of the Robinson Superior Treaty Area. Pays Plat is on the shores of Lake Superior, has a highway, railway, river, creek, hydro lines, and a snowmobile trail running through it. Even though Pays Plat is small, it has a lot going on.

As Chief of Pays Plat, it is my duty to ensure and safeguard the quality of life we enjoy. Development must be properly guided to allow the First Nation to grow into a positive atmosphere. The challenges ahead must be approached with a determination to meet or exceed our goals. It is my goal that Pays Plat becomes totally accountable, to make it easier for the future generations to live and grow. Rules and guidelines must be put into place, to create a security for the Pays Plat’s Membership and Workers. This security has been missing for too long.

With this in mind, enjoy Pays Plat’s new website.

Chief Xavier Thompson
