Home of Cree (Bigstone Nation) and Métis traditions and ways of life. A community that generates its oil & gas, energy, forestry, and recreational tourism economy from the natural environment, with a wealth of land-based Indigenous experiential offerings and local creator and entrepreneurial resources on the rise.
