Port Stalashen Wastewater Treatment Plant

As part of the Indigenous Community Infrastructure Initiative, we are investing $6.4 million in the new Port Stalashen Wastewater Treatment Plant. The plant will be located on shíshálh Nation lands near Sechelt, British Columbia, and will play a critical role in enabling economic growth, protecting the coastal environment, and safeguarding public health through improving the outfall.

The current wastewater treatment plant, owned and operated by sNGD for the past 26 years, has reached its end of life and requires replacement. This new replacement plant and improved outfall will serve 91 connected residential units and support the conversion and connection of 88 buildings, which currently rely on septic wastewater systems. The additional capacity this plant provides will enable future developments for years to come.

Benefits of CIB Involvement

The project is an example of the CIB’s Indigenous Community Infrastructure Initiative in action. By tapping into CIB financing, the shíshálh Nation will access affordable capital to accelerate and future-proof their community’s infrastructure needs.
