Sports Facility Need
Welcome to our initiative to develop a comprehensive sports facility that needs assessment for youth and adults in the Red Earth Cree Nation community. Our goal is to create a roadmap that addresses the diverse sporting needs of our community members, ensuring access to high-quality facilities that promote physical activity, health, and well-being for all ages. Through this stage, we aim to identify gaps in existing infrastructure, understand the preferences and priorities of our community members, and develop tailored solutions that meet their needs. By fostering collaboration and engagement with stakeholders, including youth, adults, elders, and community leaders, we envision a vibrant sports landscape that fosters inclusivity, fosters talent development, and strengthens community bonds. Join us as we work towards building a healthier, more active, and united community through sports.
Where do we want to be?
Goal: Establish a permanent recreation program
Goal: Provide art and sports programming
Goal: Expand the youth athletic group
