Welcome to Opportunity

We are the only Indigenous-majority municipality in Alberta. Proudly.

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.

Campground

Planning a visit?
