GROUND BREAKING
On September 26, 2005 Squamish Chief Gibby Jacob, whose ancestral name is KáKeltn, and Lil'wat Chief Leonard Andrew, Taya7, stood alongside BC Premier Campbell, representatives from Bell Canada, The Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (VANOC) and the Municipality of Whistler at a ceremony celebrating the start of construction of the Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre. On this occasion, Premier Campbell announced the provincial government’s commitment to double their contribution to $6 million dollars.
The Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre stands as a permanent legacy of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, a celebration of the rich histories of the Squamish Nation and Lil'wat Nation, and a shared commitment to our future.
