Kikinow Elders Lodge means ‘our home’ for Indigenous community near Grande Cache
After years of planning and building, a new Indigenous elders lodge is about to open near the Rocky Mountain community of Grande Cache, Alta.
“It feels good to be here,” said Winston Delorme, surveying progress on the 17,200-square-foot Kikinow Elders Lodge.
“When we first got here there used to be a road up here and it was just bush,” said Delorme. Now it’s “almost a full, operating lodge here — for our people.”
