An “urban village” with an emphasis on Indigenous culture and values is being proposed for the VLA neighbourhood of downtown Prince George, B.C.

The complex, run by the Aboriginal Housing Society of Prince George, would have a combination of houses and apartments, as well as elder and child care, educational and support services, a community garden and space for spiritual and cultural practices.

“It’s basically taking a very holistic approach … and making sure that all the things that are needed to make a neighbourhood successful are there,” said Christos Vardacostas, executive director of society.
