About Our Centre

Who We Are

The Marguerite Riel Centre is a safe and welcoming place for children, youth, families, and Elders.

We offer free, culturally diverse programs that support the whole person — mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual.

Our History

A History of
Community Support

New Beginnings

The Centre began in 1995, created by three Métis community members, Debra, Terry and Esther, who wanted local families to have access to free, safe, and culturally based support.

Program Development

We opened our doors in 1998 and have grown ever since. Over the years, we expanded from early childhood programs to include trauma care, homelessness support, youth programs, cultural programs, mmiwg programs, services for Residential School and Indian Day School Survivors, and land based learning opportunities.

New Locations

We moved into our main location in 2004 and opened our second building, the Marguerite Riel Wellness Centre, in 2025. Today, we continue the legacy of our founders by offering flexible, community-driven programs that help people heal, learn, and grow.

Full Circle

Our team is friendly, non-judgmental, and always ready to listen. We welcome Indigenous and non-Indigenous community members, and we work hard to make sure everyone feels respected and included.
