Partners

Since its beginnings, the Lillooet Community HUB has grown through partnership. Local organizations, businesses, and community groups have worked alongside us to create programs, events, and initiatives that strengthen connection and opportunity across the region.

Founding Partners

Thank you to our founding partner organizations, whose contributions have been integral to the success of the Lillooet Community HUB.

Lillooet Agriculture and Food Society

The Lillooet Agriculture and Food Society (LAFS) supports its local farmers, ranchers, growers and other passionate individuals who are building a sustainable food system to serve local communities, the province of British Columbia and beyond. Our work helps them do their work by:

The Squamish-Lillooet Regional District (SLRD) Area B, District of Lillooet & St’át’imc Agricultural Plan (Ag Plan) Working Group created an independent non-profit society (LAFS) to implement the Agricultural Plan and advance agricultural economic development in the Lillooet area.

Lillooet Chamber of Commerce

The Lillooet & District Chamber of Commerce supports Lillooet businesses. As the largest business association in Lillooet, we represent over 100 businesses and their interests. We enable networking, training, discussions, and shared problem-solving between Lillooet businesses.

The Chamber represents and promotes the business community, gets involved in community discussions and supports business initiatives. They encourage and assist new businesses to town, and support our existing businesses with their challenges.

Lillooet Tribal Council

The Lillooet Tribal Council (LTC) was first incorporated in 1976 as the Stl’atl’imx Nation Tribal Council to deliver support and advisory services to its member communities. In 1996, they formally changed their name to the Lillooet District Indian Council, and today we do business as the Lillooet Tribal Council.

The Lillooet Tribal Council works closely with the growing number of St’at’imc community organizations designed to deliver an array of services to their respective members. Some services include health and outreach, emergency management, and education.

Lillooet Invasive Species Society

The Lillooet Regional Invasive Species Society (or LRISS for short) was incorporated as a non-profit society on April 18, 2011. LRISS has an open and free membership that includes the general public, St’át’imc First Nations, local, regional and provincial governments, public and private land managers.

LRISS creates partnerships, delivers education, surveys watersheds and removes invasives to protect social, cultural, environmental and economic values in the Lillooet region.

Currently, the LRISS office is located upstairs at the Community HUB building, where they do their work planning during the summer season.

Seed to Culture

Jill and Christoph, the founders of this small business, met in Lillooet in 2017 and started Seed to Culture in 2018. They both share a passion for holistic farming and healthy eating, which is why they decided the only way to get the best-tasting and most nutritious sauerkraut was to grow and ferment the cabbage themselves!

Jill is actively involved in the agricultural community, is a board member on the Lillooet Agriculture and Food Society (LAFS), and has assisted in the development of the Lillooet Grown Market that is located downstairs in the HUB building.

Seed to Culture has its kitchen in the HUB and was an integral partner to the beginnings of the HUB project.

Lillooet Area Library Association

The Lillooet Area Library Association has been a partner organization of Lillooet Learning Communities Society since its inception and continues to support the community through strategic objectives of shared governance, responsive service, reconciliation action, and accessible community space.

The Library was the organization that held the original contract for the ‘Community Connector’ role and completed a large community engagement session to find solutions for challenges in the local non-profit sector.

The Library continues to partner with Lillooet Learns on grant applications and projects that support the community.
