The Williams Lake First Nation faces a funding hurdle in transforming the former St. Josephs Mission Residential School site into a healing and remembrance space. Despite buying the land and working with survivors, they need $166,000 for crucial cleanup and repairs, which the federal government hasnt provided. The site, operational from 1891 to 1981, requires rehabilitation due to hazardous materials and unstable structures. The project aims to honor the past and break cycles for future generations, with the province offering support but the chief calling for more direct federal funding.
