This project places community at its core, offering a versatile space adaptable for diverse events including conventions, weddings, and emergency shelters. Embracing Coast Salish heritage, it employs sustainable construction methods with a mass-timber structure and low-pitched roofs. Artistic elements, curated by a local artist, weave the story of the land and city into the building’s design, printed on the glasing, that can be viewed from the Gallery above.

Beyond its physical structure, the project catalyses economic growth, champions environmental sustainability, and fosters social inclusion. Ongoing collaboration with municipal authorities, stakeholders, and the community propels the project forward.
