The Tsawwassen First Nation Rec Centre (1926 Tsawwassen Drive) will act as an emergency shelter and warming centre for residents of Tsawwassen Lands during the upcoming scheduled BC Hydro power outage.
BC Hydro will be shutting off the power to Tsawwassen Lands for a system upgrade on Saturday, November 30, at 6pm and will not be restoring power until Sunday, December 1, at 10am.
There will be three TFN staff members in the shelter overnight to ensure that residents are able to use the facility. The shelter will be heated and powered by an emergency generator for the entire 16-hour scheduled outage.
Food and drinks will be provided for visitors; however, people are welcome to bring their own snacks or food items. As well, if you plan on sleeping in the shelter, for maximum comfort please bring your own blankets, pillows and therm-a-rest sleeping pads/portable mattresses.
Mats, chairs, tables and cots will be provided for people to sit or lay down.
