We are thrilled to announce that Foundry Burns Lake has officially opened its doors, providing youth and families in Burns Lake and surrounding communities with better access to free, confidential, health and wellness services.
Foundry Burns Lake offers a welcoming, youth-friendly space where young people aged 12–24 and their families/caregivers can access mental-health and substance use support, physical and sexual health care, peer support, and social services. Every service is designed to meet young people where they are, helping them find the right supports at the right time.
Foundry Burns Lake is operated by Carrier Sekani Family Services (CSFS) and located on the territories of Ts’il Kaz Koh First Nation, Lake Babine Nation, Wet’suwet’en First Nation, Cheslatta Carrier Nation, Nee Tahi Buhn Indian Band, and Skin Tyee First Nation. The centre also features a CSFS Youth Services drop-in space and beautiful indoor and outdoor areas for youth to gather, connect, and access supports.
We congratulate Foundry Burns Lake, Carrier Sekani Family Services, and all community partners, youth, and Nations who played a key role in bringing this centre to life, ensuring local young people have access to the care, connection, and opportunities they deserve.
