Our House of Clans is a collaborative housing development by the shishalh Nation within the Tsain-Ko Development Corporation and BC Housing. This project features 34 affordable housing units ranging from studios to 3-bedroom family suites, a large multipurpose room with a community kitchen, four amenity areas, office space for Nation staff and community events as well as 7,500 square feet of retail space.

Our House of Clans is constructed on land that is sacred to the shíshálh Nation. It is the site of the former St. Augustine’s Indian Residential School administration buildings. A Reconciliation Plaza will house a totem called Carving Tears into Dreams of Reconciliation, created by the late shíshálh master carver Tony Paul. The totem was developed and organized by the syiyaya Reconciliation Movement with more than 1,500 people assisting with the carving. Several other shíshálh Nation artists are also featured in the building’s design.
