All Nations Healing House unveiled as name for First Nations Wellness Centre – Quesnel Cariboo Observer
Jun. 26, 2023
All Nations Healing House is the official name of the First Nations Wellness Centre in Williams Lake that opened in November 2022.
A celebration was held Thursday, June 15 to unveil the name and honour the elders from the 15 communities across the region who collaborated to choose the name.
With the end of First Avenue North closed off in the 200 block, the celebration took place under a large activity tent outside with about 100 people in attendance.
Many elders took turns at the podium to say it can be difficult for elders to access doctors and dentists.
Instead of waiting for hours to see a doctor in a hospital emergency department, they have big hopes the wellness centre will help solve that problem.
