The Squamish Nation-led work site Sen̓áḵw at Kits Point adjacent to Vanier Park in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, is set to open its first units to residents by the end of the year — 112 years after the provincial government forcibly removed its occupants, CBC reports. The development comprises more than 6,000 rental units and 1,200 homes across 11 towers on 4.2 hectares of Squamish Nation land and is the largest Indigenous-led housing and retail development in the history of Canada. The federal government provided the Squamish Nation with a CAD1.4 billion (US$1.01 billion) loan to build 3,000 of the units. One of the main focuses of the development is to highlight the Squamish Nation’s culture, community, and ongoing initiatives which Committee Chair Jacob Lewis says will feature in use of Squamish identity and language the wayfinding signs, the elevators and the landscaping.
