Opening of the Tatl’ah Fitness Centre

The Tahltan Central Government (TCG) and President Chad Norman Day led the negotiation for the purchase of the BC Building in Dease Lake. Inheriting long-term tenants for half of the building, this sound investment also brought an opportunity to renovate the other half for community use and empowerment, and a five-acre property offering ample room for expansion.

It was decided that the additional space indoors would be used for the Tatl’ah Fitness Gym, Dease Lake Youth Centre, Dease Lake Learning Centre, and TCG Archival Room, with a few additional offices to spare.

The community gym opened its doors on June 30th to the Dease Lake Community and the Tahltan Nation. Operated by the TCG, it features cardio equipment, such as elliptical trainers, stationary bikes, steppers and treadmills, and strength training equipment, including dumbbells, kettlebells, weight plates, and more. A special thanks to TCG’s Dease Lake Director who worked with contractors and on logistics to ensure this project was successful.

If you have not had a chance to visit the facility yet, we encourage you to stop by and take advantage of this great community resource!

Another exciting addition to the TCG will be the recently rented office space from the Tahltan Nation Development Corporation (TNDC) in Dease Lake. With the continued growth of the TCG Team and increased operations, there is a need for additional workspaces.

TCG will be renting the upper level of the TNDC office, comprised of approximately 1,400 square feet. It has five enclosed offices, seven cubicle-like workspaces, and space for staff parking out front. We will share more news on this in the weeks ahead.
