The Knucwentwecw Society will break ground tomorrow (May 8) on its future home within the Coyote Rock subdivision on Williams Lake First Nation’s reserve lands.
The new Child and Family Services building will provide vital space and services for Indigenous children, youth and families.
The 11,000 square foot facility was designed by Thibodeau Architecture and Design and once completed it will feature dedicated ceremonial space, modern offices and facilities for a wide range of child, youth, young adult and family programs.
The project will receive funding from the government of Canada as part of its commitment to the construction of capital assets for the delivery of First Nations child and family services.
Williams Lake First Nation said construction will begin immediately with completion expected in early 2028.
Knucwentwecw Society is an Indigenous-led agency delegated by the Ministry of Children and Family development.
They support the well-being of Indigenous children, youth and family through culturally based child safety, family support services, youth transitions, post majority supports, extended family program guardianship, and resource services.
The ground-breaking ceremony will begin tomorrow (May 8) morning at 9 adjacent to the WLFN Administration Building on Quigli Drive.
