The Ford Center can lodge groups with up to 110 participants. Lodging options include dorm rooms, a converted schoolhouse and four of Alberta’s original homes. Each option has shared bathroom facilities and most rooms are double occupancy—single beds. Rooms come with basic housekeeping and include sheets, blankets, towels, pillow and soap. Phones and televisions are not available in each room, but are provided in common areas. The recreation hall, canoes and sauna are also available to Ford Center participants upon request. Washers and dryers are available to participants as well. Houses come with full kitchen, but no cooking utensils are supplied.
To inquire about the facilities and availability please call the main office at (906) 524-6181 or click E-mail An Inquiry. If you want to get an approximate cost for your program use the Plan An Event Worksheet. There is limited availability between mid-August and mid-November.
A 10% deposit or $100, whichever is less, is required at least two weeks prior to the event. Deposit is non-refundable, if event is cancelled within 48 hours of scheduled start.
