B.C. and shíshálh Nation are making further updates to changes proposed in the shíshálh swiya Dock Management Plan (DMP) to provide additional predictability for Sunshine Coast dock and boathouse owners.

The shíshálh Nation will be better reflected in provincial legislation after the passage of legislative amendments to recognize traditional and legal shíshálh names in existing provincial acts.

Nathan Cullen, Minister of Water, Land and Resource Stewardship; Murray Rankin, Minister of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation; and lhe hiwus (Chief) Lenora Joe, shíshálh Nation (shíshálh), have released the following joint statement:

Francophone students and families in Sechelt are a step closer to having a permanent French-language school now that land has been purchased for a future K-12 school.

People living on the Sunshine Coast with complex mental-health and substance-use challenges will have access to enhanced services as the Province adds complex-care housing services for approximately 25 people in the region.

Young people on the Sunshine Coast will soon have access to much-needed mental-health and substance-use supports through a new Foundry centre.

The Government of British Columbia, in collaboration with the District of Sechelt and RainCity Housing, will open a year-round shelter to provide a safe, warm place to stay for people who are struggling with homelessness — especially during the cold winter months ahead.
