This is an historic project, being the first Indigenous-owned, utility-scale solar farm in Canada and the largest solar project in Manitoba. Our own community members excelled in constructing the project well ahead of schedule and with the highest quality. The 3000 solar panels will generate energy for sale to Manitoba Hydro for the next 30 years. Fisher River Cree Nation is the first to build a project of this scale, and quite naturally we faced many technical challenges and delays that we could not control, but which we ultimately overcame.
Experience one of the premiere Pow Wow’s in Canada!
For three days in August, Fisher River holds its annual competition Pow Wow and hosts dancers from across North America in a large arbour beautifully constructed from logs.
The pow wow was renamed in 2006 to honour Ada Wilson, a well respected community member. Each year the pow wow is organized by a dedicated volunteer committee.
Fisher River Annual Treaty Days is a week long event which features family friendly events such as, York Boat Races, Douglas Rundle Memorial Fastball Tournament, children/adult races, various entertainment, food stands, Square Dance competition, and more.
Annual Treaty Days celebrates when the Crown and Fisher River signed their respective Treaty.
In the old days people camped in large canvas trappers’ tents along the river and enjoyed competitive sports activities like races and football games with neighbouring communities. Dances lasted all day and into the night. Elders recall a man walking around the community and shouting for people to come and get their treaty money. Each person received $5.00 and families received rations such as flour, sugar and tea. Merchants set up booths where people bought clothes, supplies and treats.
On the First August Sunday, Fisher River holds its Annual Community Celebration at the Leigh Cochrane Memorial Visitor Centre and Adjacent Treaty grounds. The event began in 2005 to celebrate the centre’s completion. The celebration headlines renowned country acts and showcases local and Aboriginal talent. Treaty Days are usually a week long.
Fisher River Cree Nation has hosted some of the top entertainment talent in North America including Steve Earle, Dallas Smith, Johnny Reid, The Kentucky Headhunters, Emerson Drive, Charlie Major, Williams & Ree, George Leach, Derek Miller, William Prince & many more.
