The Leigh Cochrane Memorial Visitor's Center is a beautiful building.  It is a place for the people in the Fisher River community as well as tourists to come and see.

Local contractors built the building. Delmar Crate built the furniture from a unique wood called diamond willow, named for its diamond shaped knots. Decks have been added to the outside of the building to make more room for events to be held here, such as fish fries and barbeques. An upper viewing deck has also been added and can be accessed from the inside upstairs through a door and a staircase going down from the outside.

Inside the building coffee and tea will be served and visitors can view the various crafts that will be on display. Also available to the visitor will be pamphlets, brochures, pictures and albums about the Fisher River Cree Nation. Outside there will be a boardwalk built that leads to the marina, making this an ideal arrival and departure point for people coming here via water.

There will also be canoe, kayak and paddleboat rides. Other plans in the works are a replica of the Hudson Bay Trading Company that used to exist here and a complete museum.
