From Grandmother to Granddaughter: A Story of Indigenous Intergenerational Living

Brenda Knight of BC Indigenous Housing Society shares fond memories of being raised by her grandmother and the importance of intergenerational housing. That's why the society’s latest housing project at 1766 Frances St. in Vancouver (Chief Leonard George) will feature a dedicated space for grandparents ensuring that the wisdom and care of elders will be passed through the generations. The project will provide 81 affordable rental units for Indigenous individuals and families.

We will also highlight how this development not only addresses the urgent need for affordable housing but also supports the City’s sustainability goals and serves as a visual reminder of the historic cultural practices of the Indigenous Peoples who have called these lands home.

Guests: Brenda Knights, CEO, BC Indigenous Housing Society

Co-Host: Qwuy'um'aat Elliott, Development Manager, BC Housing
