Summary:Collecting and clearing out the wood also reduces the risk of future forest fires and accelerates the forest's regeneration. The new centre, which will be located in Inklucksheen Reserve along the Fraser River, is a land-bermed form that backs into the hillside like a shiesh-kin (pit house) with red, rammed earth walls-a local material and naturally fire-proof construction. Edzerza-Bapty says that the centre has "an amazing board of women working there," and has taken on services including childcare, early learning, youth and elder programming, disability services, food and family programs, and in-home care.
