Westbank First Nation is committed to providing client care services in the most efficient and effective manner for the overall betterment of WFN Membership, its community, and all WFN stakeholders. WFN appreciates your feedback as we work to continuously improve our client services.
Established in 1983, Westbank First Nation opened its first intermediate care facility that provides quality care for community elders, both native and non-native. While originally designed to provide residence to aging residents, we have since faced the challenges of upgrading our service, staff, and training to allow us to now provide services to residents requiring complex care, including dementia care in a dedicated, secure unit (Juniper Unit).
The Intergovernmental Affairs (IGA) Office was established in the mid 1990’s to develop and support the structures and procedures of the Westbank First Nation government. The IGA office is responsible for providing administrative support to Council and other Westbank First Nation departments concerning relations with other governments (native and non-native), including negotiation support, policy development and legal strategy. IGA maintains contacts with other First Nations across Canada and is involved with First Nation political organizations both regionally and nationally.
