A civic committee is expected to decide Tuesday the fate of land that once belonged to Louis Riel's father.

Council's community committee has called a special meeting to decide whether to allow a $10-million senior citizens complex near the site of Riel's family mill on the Seine River.

Environmentalists and Metis leaders have protested the planned complex, which is to be built on St. Anne's Road.

At its last meeting, the city committee asked all sides to meet to work out a compromise.
