Federal government partners with T’Sou-ke First Nation to support community resilience and well-being

August 12, 2024 at 9:22 am  Federal, Politics

T’Sou-ke Nation, British Columbia, August 12, 2024 — The T’Sou-ke First Nation is developing a new hybrid stormwater management system and naturalized green space, after a joint investment of more than $1.3 million from the federal government and the community.

As the climate changes, the province is seeing an increase in rainfall. Funding will construct a rainwater retention system that will flow into a bioswale, a vegetated channel designed to capture and filter the collected water. This interconnected system will help T’Sou-ke Nation naturally manage rain and stormwater, as well as increase their resilience to floods and droughts .

This funding will also create a greenspace with a healing garden and courtyard that will offer the community with a space for planting.

The T’Sou-ke Nation has long championed using and honoring the land around them to protect its community. This project will allow the Nation to use natural infrastructure to increase its resilience against the impacts of climate change, improve environmental quality, harvest traditional crops, and give the community more greenspace.
