British Columbia Is Creating Its First Ever Indigenous Healing Forest – 604 Now

May 13, 2022

The serene Sunshine Coast will soon become home to BC’s first Indigenous Healing Forest, where both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people can come together to heal, reflect and meditate.

It’s part of a nationwide initiative to create a space to honour residential school victims, survivors, and their families.

The quaint Gibsons has recently committed to establishing a Healing Forest nestled in White Tower Park and the Charman Creek ravine.

The National Healing Forest initiative envisions creating a network of forests and green spaces across Canada, with the same goal of reconciliation in mind.
