Home of the Kainai Nation
Located in Southern Alberta, The Blood Tribe is situated on the largest reserve in Canada comprised of over 12,000 members.
With the proximity close to the Rocky Mountains, significant winds are a common occurrence. Over the past 10 years, the Blood Tribe determined that in order to help their community prosper, a multi-purpose recreation facility was needed to address their pressing health and wellness issues.
After carefully considering a number of building alternatives, it was determined that the Sprung structure technology would be an ideal building envelope to accommodate a wide range of needs and applications.
Within a few short months, a fully insulated 130’ wide x 290’ long Sprung structure was erected featuring Kynar desert tan and Brownstone red membrane.
