A Cultural Gathering and Learning Space for Tsawwassen First Nation
We are honoured to have been selected to contribute to the development of syə́θəs leləm, a vital and meaningful project led by Tsawwassen First Nation (TFN) in collaboration with Iredale Architecture Inc. This project represents a significant step in preserving and celebrating the Nation’s rich Coast Salish heritage. The space has been transformed into a vibrant centre for cultural preservation, education, and community connection. The facility will serve as a multipurpose space that supports TFN’s language and cultural revitalization efforts, and provides an inclusive and welcoming environment.
