Indigenous-led treatment centre to be built in B.C.'s Chilcotin

In April 2024, the Tŝilhqotʼin National Government declared a local emergency due to the toxic-drug crisis devastating their Nation.
This declaration led to a September 2024 letter of understanding with the Province to initiate priority actions improving wellness across all Tŝilhqotʼin communities.
The Red Road River Tŝilhqox initiative, created in collaboration with the Tŝilhqotʼin Nation and Red Road Recovery, will provide Indigenous-focused healing and support services near Hanceville that reflect the community’s cultural values and leadership.
The project includes 10 supportive recovery beds, 15 treatment and recovery beds, and 10 after-care transitional housing beds, with construction expected to start in September 2025 and opening in late fall 2025.
This initiative reflects a commitment to culturally safe, community-based care and aims to address the disproportionately higher overdose risk among Indigenous peoples in B.C.
