Chawathil FN/Hope — Chawathil First Nation, BC Housing, Cedar Strong and Fraser Health came together for a dedication to a soon to be constructed, 56 bed, Supportive Housing project in Hope.
The sod turning and blessing of the area were followed by a feast at Hope Golf Club.
The supportive housing project will aid a number of people and keying on elders and housing support that they need. Ironically this project was literally 15 years in the making , so there was a palpable sigh of relief that shovels were in the ground.
The site is next to Fraser Canyon Hospital in Hope,
