Site work and new construction of a clubhouse / community center in Wetaskiwin, Alberta. Design plans call for the construction of a 30,000-square-foot, two-story above grade clubhouse / community center.

Construction of a new kihâtêyihâko awâsisîwi kamik Building. Developed around the power of the circle the building is organized internally to represent the 4 quadrants of the Medicine Wheel. This circular form creates an internal courtyard for ceremonial and additional outdoor program space for staff. From the main entry, reception and gathering space, the eastern section is used for counseling and visitation rooms to help families reconnect and deal with the intergenerational trauma that has affected our First Nations communities. The south quadrant is devoted to the teaching spaces that allow for clients to connect with their traditions and celebrate their unique Cree culture. Staff areas are located in the west and north quadrants with a series of cellular offices, open work areas and support spaces. As a whole the building provides an emotional, spiritual, physical and mental strength that is needed to support strong families and community. TIMELINE: Project is in design. An Expressions of Interest is currently underway. The purpose is to invite Construction Management companies to submit their CCDC11 documentation for construction management services for pre-construction and construction of the new building. Submissions will be reviewed by the project evaluation team and a shortlist of invited proponents will be selected to submit a proposal for services under a separate Request for Proposals process. The invited RFP process is expected to be issued on February 4, 2025. Further update at that time. *Construction cost is unreleased.
