Alexander First Nation is a Cree First Nation and band government located just west of Morinville, Alberta, on Treaty 6 territory. The community is headquartered in Morinville and governs three reserve parcels: Alexander 134, Alexander 134A, and Alexander 134B. The Nation is a member of the Yellowhead Tribal Council, which supports regional collaboration on education, governance, cultural preservation, and economic development. The reserve’s population is significant — over 1,000 residents on-reserve within a total membership nearing 2,400 — and demographic stability supports continued community planning and investment.
Economically, Alexander First Nation is advancing diversified growth through strategic partnerships, community-owned business structures, and participation in large-scale projects. Alexander has engaged in high-impact collaborations including a scaffolding and industrial services contract with Brock Canada, emphasizing Indigenous employment, skills training, and local economic participation. Alexander is also involved in renewable energy through a stake in the Tilley Solar Project alongside FNpower and the Canada Infrastructure Bank, a clean energy investment expected to generate jobs and future revenue for the Nation. Additionally, federal investment is supporting energy-efficient upgrades at the community’s Social Development Centre to improve sustainability and local services.
Looking ahead, Alexander First Nation is positioning itself for continued growth across renewable energy, industrial services, land development, business services, and community infrastructure projects that generate employment and long-term prosperity for its members. The Nation’s economic initiatives — from community centre upgrades to strategic joint ventures and clean energy participation — demonstrate a commitment to building capacity, diversification, and resilience.
