Our Legacy
Project
The Legacy Project is the cornerstone initiative of the Northern First Nations Alliance, created to respond to the ongoing crisis of substance misuse that continues to impact our communities. This project addresses critical gaps in culturally appropriate health, wellness, and recovery services across Northwest British Columbia. It includes the development of a land-based treatment centre, mobile outreach programs, and aftercare supportive housing. By blending traditional knowledge with evidence-based practices, the Legacy Project provides a holistic response to substance misuse, supporting healing, recovery, and resilience. Guided by our Board of Directors, it represents our commitment to creating lasting solutions that strengthen families and communities for generations to come.

Services will be inclusive of adults, Elders, family and 2SLGBTQ+ community members, ensuring that all individuals have access to dignified, culturally safe care on their journey to recovery.
Community Outreach
