In a groundbreaking ceremony held on Friday, the Enoch Cree Nation officially announced the start of construction on a major expansion project at the River Cree Resort and Casino in Edmonton. The project, which will see the addition of a new hotel tower to the existing resort, aims to elevate the property into a world-class destination for both tourists and locals alike.
Chief Billy Morin of the Enoch Cree Nation spoke passionately about the significance of the expansion, declaring it a pivotal moment for the community. “This project represents a major milestone for our Nation,” said Chief Morin. “It is a symbol of our progress and prosperity, and a testament to our commitment to economic development and self-sufficiency.”
The new hotel tower, which will feature luxury accommodations and state-of-the-art amenities, is set to be a game-changer for the River Cree Resort and Casino. With its prime location just outside of Edmonton and its proximity to major attractions like West Edmonton Mall and the West Edmonton Airport, the resort is poised to become a premier destination for travelers from around the world.
“This expansion will not only enhance the guest experience at our resort, but it will also create new job opportunities and economic growth for our community,” said Chief Morin. “We are determined to be the catalyst for positive change in our region, and this project is just the beginning of our vision for the future.”
The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by a number of dignitaries and community members, who were all excited about the prospect of the resort’s expansion. Mayor Don Iveson of Edmonton praised the Enoch Cree Nation for their commitment to economic development and innovation, calling the project a “game-changer for the region.”
Construction on the new hotel tower is expected to be completed within the next two years, with the resort planning to unveil the finished product in a grand opening ceremony. In the meantime, guests can continue to enjoy the existing amenities at the River Cree Resort and Casino, including a casino, restaurants, and entertainment venues.
As the Enoch Cree Nation embarks on this ambitious expansion project, Chief Morin remains optimistic about the future. “We are building a legacy for our people and our community,” he said. “This project is a symbol of our resilience and our determination to succeed. We invite everyone to join us on this journey and be a part of something truly special.”
