SUMMARY:Leaseholder Information Session - Elders Centre Construction
DESCRIPTION:In 2019 Tsawwassen First Nation embarked upon a Facilities Planning Initiative to design and build major facilities on Tsawwassen lands. Part of this plan includes a new Elders’ Centre designed to support and promote the health and well-being of all TFN Elders and their spouses. Construction of this long-awaited facility is likely to begin by April 2022\, although site preparation and servicing work may begin earlier. The two-story structure will be located at 1871 Tsawwassen Drive and will be approximately 10\,282 sq. ft. in gross area. The design depicts a simple yet functional sloped roof and a bold architectural form mimicking a bird poised to take flight above the water beyond. The main access for the facility will be from Tsawwassen Drive. The existing TFN daycare access will be used at times. The existing linear park (connecting to the boardwalk) will be enhanced as a pedestrian civic plaza area and outdoor gathering place. This project is anticipated to take 1.5 years for completion and occupancy and during this period a construction management and safety plan will be in place. \nElders Centre – Notification Area Map \nLeaseholder residents who are living in the vicinity of the future site of the new Elders’ Centre are invited to attend a virtual Information Meeting via Zoom (see below for link) to learn more about the plans for the new Elders’ Centre and what to expect in your neighbourhood during the construction period. The following TFN Government staff members will be in attendance: \n\nKomal Shaikh\, Director of Lands and Municipal Infrastructure\nShawn Jacobs\, Manager of Engineering Services\nRasika Acharya\, Senior Planner\nRohit Vithal\, Senior Project Manager\, Engineering Services\nRajan Sandhu\, Development Planner\nBrenda Wright\, Leaseholder Relations Coordinator\n\nClick here to join the Zoom meeting \nMeeting ID: 828 7783 5939\nPasscode: 562207\nPlease note: If you are familiar with Zoom and can do so\, please ensure your full name is displayed when you enter the Zoom Waiting Room \nTo join the meeting by phone\, dial 1-855-703-8985 (Canada Toll-free) and enter the Meeting ID and Passcode above.
