October 23rd, 2025

Our heartfelt congratulations go out to the T’Sou-ke Nation and our very own Rose Dumont (FNHDA Board Member, Vancouver Island Region) the Health Director of the T’Sou-ke First Nation, as the community marked the grand opening of the new T’Sou-ke SKÁ¸PEȽ I¸SOT ÁLEṈ (T’Sou-ke Community Complex and Health Centre) – a space dedicated to wellness, culture and connection.

The event brought together Elders, youth, leadership, community members and partners gathered to celebrate the strong vision of the community and Nation.

“This is a place where our children and grandchildren will always know they belong,” said Chief Lawrence Underwood of the T’Sou-ke First Nation during the opening ceremony. “This isn’t just a new building but a place where our services, families, and cultures come together. Standing here now, I feel that even more strongly.”

The event was filled with cultural ceremonies, art unveilings, and heartfelt reflections that embodied the spirit of the T’Sou-ke people.
