Constance Lake First Nation is an Oji-Cree First Nation in Cochrane District in northeastern Ontario, Canada, directly north of the community of Calstock along a continuation of Ontario Highway 663. In 2010, the First Nation had a total registered population of 1,477 people, of which the on-reserve population was 820. The main employer of the community is the Lecours lumber mill located in Calstock. In 2012 a dispute between the band and the mill (operating on a long-term federal lease) nearly led to its closure. However a last ditch effort saved the operations.
