On Tuesday, August 15, 2023, Huu-ay-aht First Nations and the community in the Bamfield/Anacla area gathered in Lower Anacla, at 90 Emchiss Way, for the grand opening of the new fitness centre.
Through a grant from the First Nations Health Authority, the Community Services, Child and Family Wellness, and Infrastructure Department collaborated on bringing the fitness Centre to what it is today.
Prior to becoming the new fitness centre, the building was once the Huu-ay-aht Band Office, and then utilized for storage space. Over time, the space sat vacant and got closer to being completely removed. The infrastructure department was able to restore the building and prepare it for the fitness centre.
The fitness centre is open to all community members in the Bamfield and Anacla areas.
