Tla'amin Nation's Elder Care Facility Breaks Ground

It was grey and rainy out, but you could not wipe the bright smiles off the community members' faces in Tla'amin Nation this morning!

Today marks the beginning of Phase 1 of a dream conceived well over two years ago by Tla'amin Nation to be able to have a local care facility in the community. This will be a 24-unit housing block that will provide dignified, affordable, and accessible housing for their Elders and community members with special needs. Tla'amin Nation was awarded $8.8 million in funding by the Rapid Housing Initiative through CMHC in addition to funding from the Tla'amin government to be able to make this dream a reality.

Naut'sa mawt Tribal Council extends our congratulations to Tla'amin Nation for this exciting project!
