In a project that has been a long-time coming, our team, along with many others are proud to announce that the Thunderchild Wellness Centre is now serving the community. In a project that began about five years ago, hit a few snags along the way, but eventually got back on track, is a testament to the hard work and dedication of everyone involved.
The new 90,000 sq. ft. facility spared no expense for the Thunderchild First Nation community. Boasting a full-sized hockey rink, a fieldhouse featuring the ability to switch between an indoor soccer pitch, a lacrosse field, three volleyball courts, basketball courts and badminton courts. Beyond the athletic space, the center also features an entire medical wing, a fitness center and daycare facility. With hopes of becoming a central gathering point for the Nation and neighboring communities, it will also serve as a place to hold special and sacred community-based events such as weddings, band meetings, open town halls, indoor pow wow's, ceremonial and cultural events.
