An Indigenous Healing Centre for Vancouver Island will be built by the Tsow-Tun Le Lum Society in the Cowichan Valley.
Tsow Tun Le Lum Healing Centre has been located on land leased from the Snaw-Naw-As First Nation, near Nanaimo, since July of 1986.
The new healing centre will have 16-rooms and 32 beds, reducing the number of beds in each room to two.
The current centre has 10 rooms with more beds in each room.
