Building a recovery community with Enoch Cree Nation
A new recovery community on Enoch Cree Nation will help support people struggling with addiction in the Edmonton area.
Alberta’s government has signed a memorandum of understanding with Enoch Cree Nation for the development of a new recovery community on the First Nation. With an investment of up to $30 million in capital, the new 75-bed facility will provide holistic addiction treatment services for up to 300 people in the Edmonton area every year.
“This agreement with Enoch Cree Nation paves the way for a new recovery community to be built on Enoch lands, driven by the community it serves. This partnership reflects our government’s commitment to working with Indigenous communities to increase access to land-based and trauma-informed addiction treatment services that meet needs of everyone in Alberta.”
