In First Nation Communties there was land that was designation as Reserves in the villages of townships. Once these lands were Cut Off they were sold to the Carholic Churches. It will be a Miracle when these HUD he's will motion tofollow suite in surrendering back the lands to the First Nations that they tried to help the government's plan to take our Identity away from us and to hate those who were suppose to represent God's true nature!!! As a Land Claims Researcher and an active Advocate for the Indian Residential School Survivors I would like to witness a TRC National Conference regarding the giving back of Lands that was taken away from amm Firsti Nations within Canada. These lands should be designated for Health and healing purposes.

We own a very comfortable home with 10 bedrooms, suitable for a group of people. But because our place is in the South Cariboo,in a rural setting, even the homeless are not interested to share our home.
We have made it into a Abbeyfield House for retired people, and we have now 1 resident, for $900 per month, including meals.
This is not enough to keep this place going.
We are hoping to rent ( or sell) the large place to an organization interested in offering services to people in need. My husband and I could live in the attached bungalow, and are willing to volunteer. Would you know any society who might be interested?
Or a large family, which might need many bedrooms? Please contact us at: 250-459-2755
