We are thrilled to announce that the Red Fish Healing Centre for Mental Health and Addiction has been featured on Rethinking The Future, a platform that celebrates global architectural excellence.
Designed by Parkin Architects, the Red Fish Healing Centre is believed to be the first large-scale facility in North America dedicated to treating concurrent disorders of mental health and addiction. The Centre offers an innovative approach, blending recovery-focused programming, trauma-informed care, family therapy, and First Nations cultural elements.
At the heart of the facility is the Hummingbird Room, a healing space co-designed with the kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem) First Nation. This sacred room supports traditional indoor smudging practices, vital to clients’ healing journeys. Lined with cedar, it features a medicine wheel and a mural created by a local Indigenous artist, symbolizing the Centre’s commitment to holistic and culturally connected care.
