| Lax Kw'alaams recently acquired building on Third Avenue West will get put to use this week for an information session |
There's no official opening announcement just yet, but tomorrow will mark one of the first opportunities for the Lax Kw'alaams Band to make use of their new footprint in downtown Prince Rupert as they make use of their Community Space on Third Avenue West to host an information session from AltaGas.
As we outlined on Friday, that event takes place Tuesday from 5 to 7 with members of the Lax Kw'alaams Band and Metlakatla First Nation to learn more about career opportunities with the Ridley Island LPG terminal.
The community space building was acquired by the Lax Kw'alaams Band in 2019, outlining their plans for the building through an information release in January of 2020, those notes at the time highlighting the use of revenues from Coast Tsimshian Resources forestry operations to invest in Prince Rupert real estate, just one of a number of areas where the First Nation plans to become a larger presence within city limits.
After a year of renovation work, that after the new Community space was purchased from Amante Home Building supplies, its use will be that of offices and a training facility for members in the city.
The 2020 report which you can review here from our notes of the time, also made note of the growing number of partnerships that Lax Kw'alaams has taken on in recent years to create jobs and training opportunities, as well as to provide for management and executive services for the Band owned companies.
More notes on items of interest from Lax Kw'alaams can be explored from our archive page here.
