The walls are going up at the new Cultural & Visitor Information Centre!

The walls of the new Cultural & Visitor Information Centre are going up! Construction on the new Cultural Centre began in May 2025, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the community. Construction is now well underway, and we are on track to welcome visitors by summer 2026.

This facility will be a place for Huu-ay-aht culture, art, and community to shine. It will include:

1. A museum featuring cultural treasures and artifacts returning home from the Royal BC Museum.
2. Visitor service desk
3. A workshop area for Huu-ay-aht and other Indigenous artists to create and share their work.
4. A retail section offering local art alongside other retail items.
5. Free Wi-Fi for visitors and community members.
6. Wheelchair-accessible washrooms.
7. A parking area for ease of access.
8. A space for Huu-ay-aht citizens to operate a food truck or café.

This Centre is more than a building, it is a step forward in revitalizing our culture, supporting artists and entrepreneurs, and creating a welcoming space for all who visit our lands.

There is still a lot of work ahead, and we look forward to sharing more updates with you as progress continues. Stay tuned!
