Kelli Paddon, MLA for Chilliwack-Kent- “Working with the Sts’ailes Nation so closely over the years, I’ve seen how tight-knit and caring of a community it is. It’s great that our government can support more affordable, on-reserve housing in collaboration with the Nation so that more people in the community can continue to thrive there.”
