WFN celebrates new centre

 

The Westbank First Nation Early Years Centre celebrated its official opening and provincial recognition at an inaugural open house Friday. 

The centre is now located on the top floor of the new WFN Youth Centre.

“Westbank First Nation is proud to receive recognition as a Provincial Early Years Centre,” said  Westbank First Nation Chief Roxanne Lindley.

“Our younger members are the future of our nation, and council is committed to expanding the programs and services available for our babies, parents, and children,” Lindley added. 

WFN has operated early years programs for more than 30 years but only recently received provincial recognition in the summer 2016.

“Our vision for the future is to have a facility that houses all of our early years programs and services in a culturally safe environment, including daycare and preschool, as well as a space to provide ancillary services on site,” says WFN Early Years Services Manager, Margaret Eli.

“Moving to our new location is an exciting step toward fulfilling that vision," she added.
