Renovation Completion
On June 3, 2026, the River Cree Resort and Casino celebrated a significant milestone with the completion of its exterior renovations. This achievement is part of a broader initiative aimed at doubling the size of the popular venue located west of Edmonton.
The highlight of this renovation is the successful addition of a 20th floor to its hotel, which is set to elevate the guest experience. Following this exterior work, the focus will now shift to the interior phase of construction, where further enhancements are planned.
Details of the Expansion
The Enoch Cree Nation, which owns the River Cree Resort, has expressed confidence in meeting its target opening date of July 2027. This ambitious expansion, which began with ground-breaking in September 2024, includes:
- A new 240-room hotel
- An expansive 40,000-square-foot event space
- A modern swimming pool
These additions are designed to provide a more comprehensive experience for visitors, reinforcing the resort's position as a premier destination in the region.
Ceremony and Vision
The completion ceremony featured remarks from Kyle Peacock, a member of the Enoch Cree Nation Tribal Council. He referred to the event as a “blessing,” symbolizing the community's support and vision for the future of the resort.
This expansion is not just about increasing capacity; it represents a commitment to enhancing the overall experience for guests, with a focus on modern amenities and facilities. As the River Cree prepares for the next phase, anticipation builds for what the future holds.
