"Built on the original North Saskatchewan River lots of 1880s-era Métis settlers, Métis Crossing in Alberta has over the years grown from a small, summertime attraction into a year-round destination. Today, guests can stay in a 40-room lodge or one of eight luxury Sky Watching Domes, which are perfect for viewing the northern lights. Another recent upgrade is the cultural center’s solar power generation station, which aims to meet not only the energy demands of Métis Crossing but the entire Métis Nation of Alberta." - Diane Selkirk
