Community
The shelter offers emergency accommodation for community members within the qathet Regional District. We are a welcoming, inclusive space where we want everyone to be able to be themselves and feel a part of our community.

We live and work on the homelands and territories of the Tla’amin People. We honour the land, the Tla’amin People, and their treaty and continually seek to strengthen our relationship and responsibilities to them as guests in the territory.
