Witset Youth Healing Center
The Witset Youth Healing Lodge is set to offer a secure and welcoming environment for the healing of Indigenous Youth. It aims to serve, guide, and empower Indigenous youth across all gender expressions, aged 12 to 29, with a focus on women, girls, and 2SLGBTQI+ individuals. Additionally, the lodge will adopt a holistic wellness approach and establish a culturally respectful space for youth healing.
Chief Barry Nikal from the Witset First Nation and the Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Crown−Indigenous Relations, announced the launch of the Witset Youth Healing Lodge Project. The Government of Canada provided $3,826,659 through the Cultural Spaces in Indigenous Communities Program (CSICP) towards this project.
The Witset Youth Healing Lodge Project will develop a new building that will provide a safe and accessible healing space for both Wet'suwet'en and other Indigenous youth from Northern British Columbia. The new Lodge will be situated on the territory stewarded by the Tsee K'al K'e Yex (House on a Flat Rock) of the Laksilyu (Small Frog Clan) of the Wet'suwet'en-speaking people in the community of Witset, BC.
