Kiwanis North Shore Housing Completes Lynn Woods Low-Rise

Kiwanis North Shore Housing Society has opened the doors of its Lynn Woods housing development, located adjacent to its existing Lynn Manor tower in the District of North Vancouver. Providing 106 units to low- and middle-income seniors, the development was made possible by funding provided by both the Society and BC Housing Management Commission (as part of the Community Housing Fund program), as well as support from the District itself.

The completion of this development marks the end of several years of work on this site for IHCI, which previously provided development consulting services pertaining to work being done on Lynn Manor (both the restoration of the building envelope, and the renovation of the main floor). IHCI has also had the previous privilege of working to develop Kiwanis Manor, in West Vancouver. On behalf of all of us at IHCI, many congratulations to Kiwanis on this happy achievement, and another great contribution to the people of the North Shore.

Ki-Low-Na Friendship Society Begins Construction on Child Care Facility

Ki-Low-Na Friendship Society has begun construction on the Skәmxist Daycare facility, which when complete will provide 36 additional childcare spaces for children between six months of age and pre-school age. Built in the Black Mountain neighbourhood of Kelowna, adjacent to KFS' recently-completed Margaret's Landing housing development, this facility has been made possible by a partnership with the Ministry of Children and Family Development as part of the Childcare BC New Spaces Fund, and with support from BC Housing Management Commission.

Skәmxist is dedicated to reconnecting children to Indigenous tradition, with both design and operational elements incorporating local designs, stories, culture, art, and language, and its construction marks the culmination of many years of work by the Society. As a longtime partner, IHCI wishes to offer KFS its hearty congratulations. Thank you — limləmt! — for letting us be a part of your success.

SHARE Housing Initiative Opens First Housing Complex

SHARE Housing Initiative Society has announced the opening of its housing development in downtown Nelson, offering 39 low-cost workforce housing units. Made possible by BC Housing Management Commission and the Investment in Affordable Housing program, this is the first housing project for the Society, which was founded by members of the Kootenay Christian Fellowship, who took it upon themselves to transform a small parcel of land into much-needed homes for an underserved population in their community. The new building also hosts several retail spaces.

We at IHCI are grateful for having the opportunity to be a part of this successful endeavor; many congratulations to both SHARE and KCF on this happy occasion!

Margaret's Landing Opened By Ki-Low-Na Friendship Society

Ki-Low-Na Friendship Society is pleased to announce the completion of its Margaret's Landing housing development, a 49-unit family development located on KFS property in Kelowna's Black Mountain neighbourhood. The new building was made possible by an investment from BC Housing's Indigenous Housing Fund (part of the Building BC program), with additional support from CMHC's SEED program and the City of Kelowna.

Margaret's Landing is the second residential development built from the ground up by KFS (after the 2016 completion of downtown Kelowna's i spa-us ki-low-na development), but the Society isn't resting on its laurels; rather, KFS is already moving forwards on the development of a long-desired child care facility on the adjacent site. IHCI and its staff would like to extend our congratulations to KFS on adding this much-needed housing to the community.
