VGFN Elders Complex

completed

• The project consists of an Indigenous health facility for elders of the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation (VGFN) in the community of Old Crow, Yukon. • The scope of the project includes 8 one-bedroom assisted-living units for Indigenous elders and 1 one-bedroom unit for a 24hr/day live-in caregiver. The complex also includes a kitchen, a laundry room, washrooms, a tub room and a large indoor common area to be used by the elders for programming, crafts, a language hub and family occasions. • The project aims to improve quality of life and longevity for the VGFN elders through an Indigenous healthcare facility. Additionally, the complex benefits Indigenous populations by advancing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action relating to healthcare.
