District of Sechelt, British Columbia, October 3, 2024 — The Sunshine Coast is getting a new community services hub to fill a critical social infrastructure gap after an investment of more than $3 million from the federal government.

Announced by MP Patrick Weiler and Catherine Leach, Executive Director, Sunshine Coast Community Services, the Building Together Project will be the new home for the Sunshine Coast Community Services Society (SCCSS) so that they can continue to help thousands of the community’s most vulnerable residents.

The hub will be located on the lower two levels of a new six-story building, and will offer an accessible, inclusive, and welcoming place for the community to gather, connect and access essential services in one central location. Additionally, this new building will be fully net-zero and will support Canada’s greenhouse gas emission reduction goals by achieving carbon neutrality.

The SCCSS is the largest non-profit organization on the Coast and provides more than 30 programs to support every stage of life, from their infant development program to helping seniors stay independent in their homes. In addition to support and prevention programs, this new space will include, food security initiatives, a community kitchen, and crisis response service and SCCSS offices. The surrounding outdoor area will include a multi-use garden, that will feature wheelchair-friendly paths and gathering areas, and grow food with the help of rainwater collection.
