The reserve has an area of 14,438.3 hectares (35,677.8 acres).[4] In the 2016 Canadian Census, it recorded a population of 837 living in 218 of its 238 total private dwellings.[2] In the same year, its Community Well-Being index was calculated at 52 of 100, compared to 58.4 for the average First Nations community and 77.5 for the average non-Indigenous community.[3] It is almost completely surrounded by the rural municipality of Touchwood No. 248.
