Walgwan Center blends cultural knowledge with wellness practices to support First Nations and Inuit youth on their healing journeys. We provide a culturally safe environment that fosters reconnection to identity, family, and land.
Our residential programs and community services include land-based experiences and Elder guidance, designed to build resilience, autonomy, and agency in young people.
Working with families and community partners, Walgwan offers a continuum of care — assessment, residential programming, aftercare, and community supports — to help youth move toward sustained wellbeing.
The healing journey often begins before a young person arrives at Walgwan Center.
Our eight-week Residential Wellness Program provides youth with a structured, supportive, and culturally grounded environment where they can focus on healing, self-discovery, and personal growth.
Connection to the land is central to our philosophy of care.
Culture is woven into every aspect of life at Centre Walgwan.
Every youth receives individualized support based on their unique strengths, experiences, and goals.
Distance should never be a barrier to healing.
Walgwan center is committed to improving access to culturally grounded wellness services for First Nations and Inuit youth living throughout the surrounding region.
Healing begins in the community.
Healing is strongest when families and communities walk alongside youth.
Healing continues long after a youth leaves our residential program.
At Walgwan Center, we believe that promoting life is just as important as treating illness.
Choosing a wellness program is an important decision. At Centre Walgwan, we are committed to providing a safe, supportive, and culturally responsive environment where youth can begin their journey toward healing, growth, and wellness.
We work in partnership with youth, families, communities, and referral partners to ensure that every young person receives individualized care that respects their unique experiences, strengths, and aspirations.

My experience at Walgwan was extraordinary, the educators are incredible and a lot of fun, the activities were very inspiring and above all it is a very good program.
My experience at Walgwan was much more than just a brief stay; it left me with wonderful memories. From the moment I arrived, I felt warmly welcomed, respected, and without judgment. I met extraordinary people who truly take the time to listen, understand, and help from the heart. Walgwan is a place where you feel safe, where you can be yourself, and where everyone is treated with dignity. Thanks to this experience, I learned, grew, and regained my self-confidence.
The moments I experienced there will remain etched in my memory, as will the smiles, encouragement, and kindness of the entire team. I sincerely thank everyone who makes Walgwan such a welcoming and humane place. Your dedication, patience, and kindness make a real difference in people's lives. And for embodying our values with such heart.
I will always hold a special place in my heart for Walgwan. It's a place that makes you feel good, that brings people together, and that reminds us of the importance of our roots, mutual support, and respect.
Thank you for everything you do, and I hope many other people will have the chance to live such a wonderful experience.
