Buildings like the Old Firehall and the upcoming Elk Valley Childcare Centre don't rise without the people constructing them. Thank you to our construction partners at North Mountain Construction and New Commons Development for their work on the Old Firehall and Pine Ave locations.

Meet the Team: Katey Taylor, Executive Director 🏑

Katey cares about affordable housing and about helping the Elk Valley grow in a way that benefits everyone. She believes strong communities start with safe, affordable homes.

Off the clock, she's with her family and their dog, at the lake in summer, and out on the trails and slopes in winter. 🌲

Today is National Seniors Day, and we're taking a moment to celebrate the seniors in our community and the housing that supports them.

Veneto Seniors Housing provides a safe, comfortable, and connected place for older adults in the Elk Valley to call home. Thank you to the residents and staff who make it such a warm community.

Today we pause to reflect on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. EVFS operates within Qukin Κ”amakΚ”is, the unceded traditional territory of the YaqΜ“it Κ”aΒ·knuqⱑi'it people and the Ktunaxa Nation. We honour the children who never returned home, the survivors of the residential school system, and the ongoing work of truth and reconciliation in our community.
