Culture & Community Services

Overview

Seabird Island offers various cultural and language programs to promote knowledge of indigenous culture and languages. These programs provide Halq’eméylem language classes to children and staff, incorporate cultural teachings into community events and daily activities, and aim to revitalize cultural practices.

A range of services are offered to support Elders and families in need. Elders programs assist with transportation, meals delivery, home maintenance and more. Income assistance and food bank services are available through the Social Development program. Employment assistance provides skills training and job search support.

Health and wellness initiatives include immunizations, oral health for children, recovery homes offering culturally-based healing, child and youth programs focused on life skills and recreation, and community events bringing people together. The goal across all programs is to uplift community members and promote wellbeing.
