Treaty Two Territory – Interlake Reserves Tribal Council (IRTC) is congratulating Dauphin River First Nation on the completion of their new wellness centre that will be a gathering place where community members can get needed support to care for healthy and positive lifestyles.
“On behalf of Interlake Reserves Tribal Council, we want to congratulate Dauphin River First Nation on the completion of this very important building to protect the health and safety of community members,” said IRTC Chair, Chief Cornell McLean. “This new wellness centre will be a place to build and reinforce positive and active lifestyles – promoting healthy and active living for First Nation families in the area.”
IRTC is thankful to Bison Modular Construction for helping with the build that will have a positive impact on the healthy lives of community members. Elders from the community have decided that the centre will be called “The Three Mary’s Wellness Centre.”
“This centre is going to help our community tackle the ongoing drug crisis facing our community members by providing active supports to help build and maintain healthy lives,” added Dauphin River Chief Lawrence Letander. “Our children and youth deserve a place to reinforce healthy living and to get needed support and information to achieve a healthier lifestyle and we’re glad that the wellness centre is now open to give them that support.”
