Attention Community Members:

Regrettably, the Cheam shelter will be closed immediately due to a pest infestation and will remain closed indefinitely until the pest control issue is resolved.

The closure is necessary to protect shelter clients and staff, and prevent the infestation from spreading to Community homes.

There is an interim plan to continue to provide food and hygiene services at the Band office to the unsheltered relatives, to ensure we can continue to support them. Meals will be served behind the gym under the white tent with the same schedule as before. Showers will be available in the mornings in the gym from 9 am - 12 noon.

A longer-term plan is in the works to bring bigger and more comprehensive solutions to the problems the shelter is experiencing.

We apologize for this inconvenience. The staff are pulling together to do the best with the resources we

have.
