New First Nations Wellness Centre in Williams Lake first of its kind in B.C.
Wayne Christian, Secwépemc Nation representative and one of the three Interior Region representatives to the First Nations Health Council presents First Nations Wellness Centre executive director Debbie Grimes with an eagle’s feather during the grand opening of the new centre in Williams Lake Friday, Nov. 4.
There was a nice sized crowd for the grand opening of the new First Nations Wellness Centre in Williams Lake on Friday, Nov. 4. Health staff from around the province are acknowledged for their work with First Nations Health Authority. The centre opened earlier in October to serve people from the 15 First Nations communities in the region and their families.
“The priorities have been identified by our nations for GPs and NPs . Traditional wellness is a key component in all three of our nations as partners here. That will be the cornerstone of our work,” Montgomery-Reid said. “There is a lot of history behind this centre.” “We continue to hold ourselves up,” Sellars said. “We continue to put health at the forefront and that is very apparent by us coming together. It’s good to see leadership from the city, from the province. I look at where we are in this journey of reconciliation and this journey of healing.”
