Foundry qathet (Coming Soon)
Land Acknowledgement
The offices and spaces of Youth & Family, and the work that we do, are on the sacred, ancestral territories of the Tla’amin First Nations people, who are the traditional stewards and protectors of this land and its generous resources. These territories are now home to many diverse First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples.
Our work does not start and end with this land acknowledgement; it is one important action towards Reconciliation, honouring the land and Indigenous heritage, which dates back since time immemorial.
This land acknowledgement was developed with the members of the Indigenous Advisory Council; we thank them for their generosity and collaboration.
Foundry qathet will support the health and wellness needs of youth and their families in Powell River and the qathet region. Our services will be free and confidential.
Foundry qathet will be hosted by Youth & Family (Powell River Child, Youth & Family Services Society). At Foundry centres, multiple service providers and organizations work together to provide a variety of services to youth ages 12-24 and their families.
Foundry qathet represents not only Powell River, but the entire regional district.
Foundry qathet is part of Foundry’s network of centres across BC. Want to learn more?
"I think Foundry being in Powell River while I was a youth in care and even as a young adult after [aging out of care] would have helped me a lot instead of having to go to so many different offices for different doctors. I'm excited that all the youth of our next generations will have such a good place for them to deal with mental health and physical health, and live a good healthy life with such supports."
