Skuppah Indian Band, British Columbia, April 25, 2024 — A food security and cultural garden located adjacent to the Skuppah Food Security Centre will be constructed and established after a federal investment of $231,004.

Announced by Minister Patty Hajdu and Chief Doug McIntyre, this project aims at enhancing community health by emphasizing traditional and culturally significant plants native to the Skuppah Indian Band. This initiative is designed to promote self-reliance and raise awareness about personal health.

The Skuppah Food Security and Cultural Garden project will encompass the design and construction of landscape infrastructure necessary for establishing a vibrant space. This includes a comprehensive range of activities, such as landscape design, site preparation, and the installation of hardscaping, aggregates, topsoil, and plant material. Furthermore, the garden will serve as a celebration of cultural heritage, featuring various crops, educational initiatives, and communal gathering spaces.
