Engagement sessions scheduled as work to rehabilitate former Kamloops Indian Residential School building continues
KAMLOOPS — Tk’emlúps te Secwepemc is seeking input from all band members as it moves ahead with plans to rehabilitate the former Kamloops Indian Residential School building.
It will be hosting a pair of community engagement sessions at Moccasin Square Gardens on Wednesday, Jan. 29 between 3:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., and at the CLC Assembly Hall on Thursday, Jan. 30 between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.
“Council and the 13 Grassroots Advisory Committee helped guide the direction of the Chief Louis Centre (CLC) rehabilitation, and through a survey, you gave your thoughts and ideas for rehabilitating the building,” a Thursday (Jan. 16) statement from the Band said.
“As we step into the new year, Tkemlúps te Secwépemc invites all band membership to participate in upcoming engagement sessions to give us your thoughts on the design options. This is an opportunity to share your voice and vision for the transformation of the Chief Louis Centre (Red Brick Building) to reflect our culture and meet our community’s needs for generations to come.”
