Norway House Cree Nation Transforming our community into a true sovereign Nation. Norway House is one of the largest First Nation communities in Manitoba and has a rich history.

It is situated on the confluence of the Nelson River and Lake Winnipeg, 456 kilometers north of Winnipeg, Manitoba; approximately 800 kilometers by road. The population consists of 6,918 Band members and approximately 600 community members living in the adjacent off-reserve community. Norway House played a fundamental role in establishing the economic foundation of Manitoba & Canada during the fur trade era. It first emerged as a significant post in 1821 when the Hudson’s Bay Company and the Northwest Company merged and established a fur-trading post near the outlet of Lake Winnipeg in 1814. The Norway House post was named after Norwegian labourers who build the post in recognition for their exceptional building skills. Today, Norway House Cree Nation is recognized as a very progressive community and boasts a large number of amenities, including a hospital, personal care home, state-of-the-art educational facility, post-secondary facility, public work facilities and business establishments. The leadership believes in self-reliance and sustainability through economic development. Various economic ventures have been undertaken by Norway House Cree Nation, such as the Pharmacy, Dental clinic, bus transportation, Cellular & Communications System, York Boat Inn, Kistapinanihk Shopping Mall & Kinosao Sipi Multiplex Recreation Centre. Norway House Cree Nation has strong emphasis on education because it is the key component to a self-sustaining community in every aspect. It is very important to secure a better future for the youth and for generations yet unborn by initiating quality education and economic development strategies & projects which will capture the Vision of Norway House Cree Nation.

NORWAY HOUSE COUGARS BASKETBALL

TEAM SUMMARY - COMMUNITY, DEVELOPMENT & COMPETITION

The Norway House Cougars Basketball Team is more than a basketball team. We are a group of young athletes committed to developing our skills, representing our community with pride, and giving back to the people who support us.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

Community service is an important part of our program. Our players learn that being part of the Cougars means giving back both on and off the basketball court.

β€’ Clean and maintain local graveyards and cemetery grounds
β€’ Help maintain the Pinawachi Care Home grounds, including cutting grass
β€’ Take elders for walks and spend time with them
β€’ Help with and participate in bingo nights
β€’ Host basketball clubs and opportunities for younger players
β€’ Hold regular basketball practices and help develop young athletes

These activities help our players develop leadership, responsibility, teamwork and respect while building stronger relationships with elders, youth and other community members.

PEG CITY SHOWCASE

The Cougars recently competed in the Peg City Showcase against some of Winnipeg's best club teams. We finished the showcase with a 2-2 record - two wins and two losses. Competing successfully at this level was an important accomplishment for our players and showed that athletes from Norway House can travel, compete and represent our community proudly against strong club programs. The experience gave our team valuable competition, confidence and exposure.
