The District of Sicamous has unveiled a preliminary exterior design of the community’s future Shuswap Healing Centre.
According to the district, the design was crafted though a visioning process facilitated by Douglas Cardinal, a world- renowned Indigenous architect, working alongside Scott Builders Inc.
“Reflecting the Monashee Mountains and picturesque waters of the Shuswap region, the design is meant to complement the natural surroundings of Sicamous,” reads a July 29 media release.
“The design renderings demonstrate the orientation of the 15,000 square-foot building, its form and character, as well as the relationship of the building with the natural environment.”
The healing centre is to be the home of the Sicamous Community Health Centre, and will also include other health services, shared community space, a centre for traditional Indigenous healing and two accommodation units for visiting health professionals
