Métis Crossing is the first major Métis cultural destination in Alberta and is a premier centre for Alberta Métis cultural interpretation, education, gatherings, and events. Sitting on 512-acres of land, comprised of river lot titles from the original Métis settlers to the region in the late 1800s, the crossing is designed to engage and excite visitors through an exploration of Métis cultural experiences. Opening in Fall 2021 is the boutique 40 room Lodge at Metis Crossing.
Notes from "Historic Places Shaped by Communication"
Métis ancestors served as guides, interpreters, and negotiators for major trading companies, such as the Hudson’s Bay Company and the Northwest Company. Their language, Michif, combined both Cree and French elements to create a unique linguistic heritage.
