2025/26 Copper Project supporting cardiac care for Northern BC

Copper Falls Custom Homes launched its 2025/26 Copper Project, to support the Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation.

The home, located at 7233 Hillu Road, looks to be completed in February 2026, with net proceeds of the home going towards cardiac care.

Spirit of the North CEO Aimee Cassie said this project makes a big impact.

“For years, they’ve supported cardiac care, which is the biggest gap in care that we see in northern B.C..”

“They’ve also gone above and beyond to support ICU through Covid, and they always look at ways that they can improve patients outcome at UHNBC. Sometimes they get very specific with the equipment, and we love that, because they’re passionate about the project.”

Copper Falls Director Jeff Stewart said the support they’ve been getting from the community has been a good motivator for them, and has allowed them to do projects like these.

He added that when doing projects like these, it’s nice to give back.

As the Copper Project is heading into its sixth year, it has raised over $550,000, and has funded infusion pumps, enhancements to the Short Stay Unit, among others.

Stewart said they aim to list the house at $725,000.
