Multiworks is a community-based organization that has provided services in Meadow Lake since 1978. Executive director, Dave Thickett, expressed appreciation for the support from the province, as well as from the city and Flying Dust First Nation.

“Multiworks is delighted to be able to provide the support to individuals who need it and that partnerships such as this provide it,” he said.

Thickett added that this new home will allow people to remain in their community and enjoy all of the important family and friend relationships integral to a quality life.

“We are fortunate to be a part of their lives and have the opportunity to be a part of their extended family,” he said.

Federal Minister of Housing and Diversity and Inclusion, Ahmed Hussen, added that this was the National Housing Strategy at work.

“Everyone deserves a safe and affordable place to call home,” he said. “These families in Meadow Lake will now have a place to call their very own and thrive.”

The Meadow Lake Native Urban Housing Corporation (MLNUH) partnered with KidsFirst Meadow Lake to support vulnerable families with young children through this housing project. Manager Lauri Bell thanked the provincial and federal governments for their contributions to the project.

“The partnership we have with the KidsFirst organization offers new homes for their clients to raise their families and build connections in the community,” she said.
