New childcare facility opened on George Gordon First Nation

The new George Gordon Childcare Facility marks the joint work being undertaken by the First Nation and ATCO Sustainable Communities. The 4,500-sq.ft. facility is the first project completed by ATCO Sustainable Communities, a new ATCO company that provides a full range of pre-fabricated building solutions for Indigenous and other remote communities. The daycare can accommodate 48 students, nearly twice the capacity of the former building which was prone to flooding. It is energy efficient and low maintenance featuring child-size amenities, bright offices and a durable metal roof. The facility was delivered to the site as four large pre-fabricated blocks and constructed over the course of four weeks.
