The Province, through BC Housing, has purchased the former Lazy Bear Lodge to create 30 supportive homes for older adults and vulnerable seniors.

The Province’s fish biologists and international co-managers will be on Moyie Lake in February to catch, tag and release burbot as part of egg collection to support recovery in the Kootenay River and Kootenay Lake. 

People in Ktunaxa Nation communities living with complex mental-health and addiction challenges will benefit from new housing and tailored supports to help them stabilize their lives and break the cycle of homelessness.

More people living in the East Kootenay region will have access to high-quality long-term care as Interior Health prepares to build a new care community with 148 beds.

People experiencing or at risk of homelessness will soon have a new permanent shelter to rely on as the Province, through BC Housing, has bought a property in Cranbrook.

People in Cranbrook and surrounding areas will have access to new treatment and recovery options, as well as expanded mental health and substance use services, as the Province continues to build a comprehensive system of care throughout British Columbia.
