We’re thrilled to have kicked off the Foundry Burns Lake Soccer Camp, in partnership with the Carrier Sekani Family Services Health Promotions program, on May 23 and 24.
Over two action-packed days, UNBC Timberwolves players Morgan and Brityn coached 35 young athletes to sharpen their skills and boost their game. Huge thanks to everyone who participated and brought their energy and enthusiasm. Even the rain couldn’t break the mood!
But this is just the beginning...
Foundry Burns Lake is here to support youth and families with free, confidential health and wellness services—all under one roof. From mental health support to physical health care, peer support, and social services, Foundry is creating a safe, welcoming space for young people to thrive.
While Foundry Burns Lake is still under construction, engagement work has been underway for several years. This has included a few different initiatives such as visits to local schools at key phases for youth (Grades 5-12) to weigh in on specific aspects of the building itself and help steer the direction of what would make them feel safe in a health care setting.
This June, the Foundry team will visit local schools once more for the final pieces to discuss furniture, signage, wayfinding and donor wall designs.
Foundry Burns Lake is organizing and recruiting for the Foundry Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) that will have their first meeting in September 2025. As part of this committee, youth will not only get the perks of volunteer hours and references but to be an advocate in supporting youth health and wellness in Burns Lake. If you are interested in joining the YAC, please email foundry@csfs.org, or sign up here: Foundry Burns Lake Youth Advisory Committe (YAC) Sign Up.
Stay tuned for more updates as Foundry Burns Lake prepares to open its doors this fall, bringing vital support and services to youth and families in your community.
