| An image of what the Lax Kw'alaams apartment building on 11th Avenue in Prince Rupert will look like upon its completion. Ground breaking for the project takes place Oct 12 |
It's been delayed a bit longer than had been hoped, but next month, Lax Kw'alaams will make for a big moment for additional housing in Prince Rupert.
The Band Council and Lax Kw'alaams WAAP Housing Society setting October 12th as the date for the Official Ground Breaking for their much anticipated 70 unit apartment project in the city.
The official invitation went out this morning from the Lax Kw'alaams WAAP Housing Society, with the event to take place at the 11th Avenue site from Noon to 2PM on the 12th.
The importance of the event is noted in the invitation notice which highlights that Everyone is welcome to attend this event. Lax Kw’alaams members are encouraged to wear their regalia to this event.
The location which was provided by the City of Prince Rupert, has been a very active site in recent weeks as land preparation began towards development of the project.
The October 12th ceremony will mark the next milestone for the Band Council and its housing plan for members who live in Prince Rupert.
As we noted yesterday, the Lax Kw'alaams led housing project is one of the few initiatives in recent years to actually get to a putting a shovel in the ground situation.
Once complete and opened, it will help to reduce some of the housing pressures in the community which has been in the midst of a housing crisis for a number of years.
Follow the Lax Kw'alaams Social Media page for updates on the way to the Ground breaking ceremony.
