Land Acknowledgment

Kitimat Valley Housing Society recognizes and pays respect to the Indigenous People of the Haisla Nation whose unceded traditional territory our housing stands on and where our staff and residents call home.

How We Got Started

Kitimat Valley Housing Society (KVHS) was established in 2018 to advocate for the public afflicted with Dementia, Alzheimer’s, and other cognitive impairments, and to support their quality of life by providing specially adapted, and supportive, living accommodations.  The Society was founded on the principle that everyone is entitled to be treated with utmost respect and dignity regardless of their ethnicity, gender, social status or economic well-being.

KVHS endeavours to operate further Independent Living, Supportive Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care for seniors living within the District of Kitimat and Haisla Nation.  We believe that all residents of these homes have the right to participate in their day-to-day lives in meaningful, productive ways and to have unrestricted access to information affecting all aspects of their lives.  Above all, we believe that the needs of any “system of care” always must be tailored to the needs of the residents both as individuals and as a group.

  3. To advocate on behalf of the residents to enjoy the best quality of life despite the effects of dementia through the combined efforts of staff, volunteers and family members who nurture a sense of purpose, belonging and companionship, and
