Supports safe water treatment, economic development and employment opportunities
The shíshálh Nation Government District (sNGD) modernized their water treatment infrastructure.
Fast facts
As part of the Indigenous Community Infrastructure Initiative, we invested $6.4 million in the new Port Stalashen Wastewater Treatment Plant. The plant is located on shíshálh Nation lands near Sechelt, British Columbia and plays a critical role in enabling economic growth, protecting the coastal environment and safeguarding public health.
The former wastewater treatment plant, owned and operated by sNGD for the past 26 years, had reached the end of its service life.. This new replacement plant serves 91 connected residential units and supports the conversion and connection of 88 buildings, which previously relied on septic wastewater systems. The additional capacity this plant provides will enable future developments for years to come.
Benefits of the CIB’s involvement
The project is an example of the CIB’s Indigenous Community Infrastructure Initiative in action. By tapping into CIB financing, the shíshálh Nation was able to access affordable capital to accelerate and future-proof their community’s infrastructure needs.
