This site provides the community with the opportunity to embrace traditional cultural practices where guests achieve greater whole person health and wellness through the learning, practicing, and using of traditional Indigenous medicine, healing, ceremony, and knowledge.

Mishkiki Chichakk Kamik (Medicine Spirit Lodge) has been designed as a 40-bed mental health and wellness lodge, providing services to residential school survivors and their families, families of missing and murdered Indigenous women and children and those affected by intergenerational trauma and post-traumatic stress.

The Master Program then informed the Project Scoping Analysis that identified the need for functional program space, physical infrastructure, site elements and development as well as the required capital resources necessary to implement the project. The Project Scoping Analysis was conducted by IDEA Inc.

This 16,000 Sq Ft adaptive reuse project transforms the former Sault Star newspaper building into a new withdrawal management facility for the Sault Area Hospital. Called the Northway Wellness Centre, the facility includes

10 acute care and 10 sub-acute care beds, allowing for a self-directed journey of wellness and recovery. We designed all spaces for comfort, safety, healing, and daily activity— extending from the interior spaces to the landscaped courtyard and gardens. Our design also revamps the previously austere industrial façade with a welcoming contemporary entrance addition and new exterior refinishing. The Northway Wellness Centre is expected to open in summer 2023.
