The Tla’amin Nation has broken ground for the ƛaχƛaχay ʔaye (Elder’s Place) a 24-units housing development to provide safe, accessible, dignified and affordable housing for elders and community members with unique needs.
The $11 million facility is designed for independent living and will have eight two-bedroom and 16 one-bedroom units and will be built in early 2023.
The project site is located in the Teeshohsum (Sliammon IR #1) community of the Tla’amin Nation, just north of Powell River, BC on the northern Sunshine Coast and the eastern shores of the Salish Sea.
