The Proposed Project

The proposed project will construct an approximately 90,000 square foot community Wellness Center that will meet the needs of the Thunderchild First Nation as well as the surrounding communities. The Center will include a dental office, a family physician, a pharmacy, social and childcare services (this includes non-for-profit daycare services), a full-sized ice surface, a field house, and a concession stand. The second floor of the center will be built to accommodate a variety of events such as weddings, Band meetings, and other community gatherings.
