Metis Crossing is Alberta's first major Metis destination where we share and celebrate the Metis culture with all people! With their unique designs that combine both traditional and contemporary Metis craftmanship, The Lodge and the Gathering Centre at Metis Crossing are special blends of comfort, culture, and Metis history. Directly adjacent to the Cultural Gathering Centre, our 40-room boutique Lodge offers scenic views overlooking the majestic North Saskatchewan River, the very route used by our Metis ancestors as they gathered here to trade. The Cultural Gathering Centre is the base for all our cultural and educational programs. The Lodge offers a Bistro for coffee and express breakfast, as well as a Lounge for cocktails and light snacks. Together they are an ideal location for corporate and government retreats as well as family gatherings.
