May 6, 2016. The River Cree Resort and Casino, on Enoch Cree Nation, has donated $20,000 to the Canadian Red Cross in support of the emergency relief efforts in Fort McMurray and Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo. In addition, River Cree Sports, which operates twin skating rinks at the River Cree complex, has donated $3,000 worth of supplies through the Jason Gregor show. “Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of those affected by the wild fires in the Fort McMurray area,” said Robert Morin, River Cree Enterprises president and CEO. Both the provincial and federal governments are matching dollar-for-dollar donations made to the Red Cross.
