Carrier Sekani Family Services (CSFS) held a groundbreaking ceremony for a new low-barrier housing complex.
This was in partnership with the BC Housing, Indigenous Services Canada and Yellowridge Construction, to provide safe, culturally supportive homes for young Indigenous families and individuals in downtown Prince George.
CSFS CAO, Mary Teegee talks about what the project means.
“We think about what Martin Luther King says ‘hate can’t drive out hate. Only love can do that.’.”
“This project here is built on love. It is built by all of us, sharing our hearts, our minds and our spirits today, to make the world a better place.”
The upcoming complex, located at 611 Brunswick Street, will feature 45 units designed to meet unique needs of Indigenous community members, especially those facing systemic barriers to stable housing.
Units for Elders will also be offered and live-in support for the younger residents will be available.
Construction is scheduled for completion in Winter 2026, with the project cost approximately $26,154,414.
