According to witnesses, the 56-hundred square foot building located at Hillside Beach went up in flames just after midnight.
No one was inside at the time.
The 36-bed lodge on Lake Winnipeg is run by Ma Mawi Wi Chi Itata as a place for at-risk youth to receive counselling and services.
While not confirmed, it’s suspected the fire was caused by an electrical issue.
