tiskʷat (“big river”) Coming Home Apartments
30 affordable homes for Indigenous families, youth, young couples, and individuals
LDM is providing full development management services for this culturally grounded affordable housing development on Nation-owned land.
The three‑storey, approximately 33,500 sq. ft. building will provide 30 affordable homes—including 18 two‑bedroom and 12 three‑bedroom units. Shared spaces include an amenity room, outdoor play area, and community‑focused outdoor spaces that support connection, wellbeing, and belonging.
tiskʷat represents more than housing—it is a place of community, culture, and coming home, created by and for the ɬaʔamɩn Nation. As of March 2026 construction is underway, with anticipated completion in Summer 2027.
LAND
Located within the qathet (“Working Together”) Regional District on the Traditional Territory of the ɬaʔamɩn Nation in what is now known as Powell River.
Situated on Nation‑owned land that will form part of future treaty settlement lands, the project represents an important step toward self‑determined housing delivery led by the Nation.
