We are proud of our achievements in expanding the horizons of our youth, including taking participants to significant cultural and sporting events like the Alberta Indigenous Games and Alberta Native Provincials. These experiences have not only been memorable but have also played a crucial role in personal development and community building.
As we look to the future, we are exploring fundraising opportunities to support and expand our program. Our goal is to continue providing meaningful recreational opportunities that contribute to the holistic development of our youth.
Whether you’re interested in participating in our programs, contributing as a volunteer, or supporting us through donations, your involvement is invaluable. Together, we can create a positive impact on the lives of our youth, fostering a generation of confident, healthy, and connected individuals.

The Driftpile Cree Nation Recreation Program is dedicated to enriching the lives of our youth, aged 5-17, through a diverse range of recreational activities that nurture their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Our aim is to foster a strong, healthy, and vibrant community by providing opportunities that not only entertain but also build character, teamwork, self-esteem, and cultural awareness.
Our program offers a wide variety of recreational activities tailored to engage youth in fun, healthy lifestyles. From sports to arts and crafts, our activities are designed to cater to all interests and abilities, ensuring every child finds something they love.
Through carefully designed team-building exercises and self-esteem-building activities, we aim to nurture a sense of belonging, confidence, and resilience among our participants.
Recognizing the importance of cultural heritage, our program integrates cultural elements into our activities, helping to connect youth with their roots and the rich traditions of the Driftpile Cree Nation.
Understanding the financial barriers that can limit access to recreational opportunities, we offer funding assistance for registration fees for a variety of external activities such as minor hockey, football, and baseball, ensuring all youth have the opportunity to participate in the activities they are passionate about.
Join us in our journey to empower the youth of Driftpile Cree Nation through recreation. Together, we can build a stronger, healthier, and more vibrant community for all.
