Our Infrastructure Department takes care of the physical elements that together support human habitation and activity in our community. This includes our community buildings, water and sewer lines, roads, bridges and Band-owned homes.
Xatśūll First Nation is comprised of two physical communities located along Highway 97 North, each accessible via highway exits and supporting the Nation’s infrastructure and housing needs
Deep Creek (Cmetēm)
Is located approximately 20 kilometres north of Williams Lake and serves as the primary administrative and service centre of the Nation. It is home to the majority of Xatśūll members who reside on reserve and contains much of the community’s core infrastructure and housing. Key facilities located in Deep Creek include the Xatśūll First Nation Administration Office, Health Centre, Maintenance and Natural Resources Building, and the Xatśūll Development Corporation. The main compound used to securely store community equipment and vehicles is also located here. Deep Creek is serviced by a central water system, which is currently being upgraded, and uses septic systems for waste disposal. Fire hydrants are located throughout the community to support fire protection services.
The Main Compound
Part of the Xatśūll Heritage Village.
Soda Creek (Xatśūll)
is located approximately 15 kilometres north of Deep Creek and is bordered by Highway 97 North and the Fraser River. This community is home to a number of Xatśūll members and includes residential housing, the Soda Creek Emporium, and the Xatśūll Heritage Village. While there are no administration buildings in Soda Creek, it remains an important residential and cultural area. Water is supplied through a central water system, with septic systems used for waste disposal. Roads in this community are not paved. The Xatśūll Heritage Village offers visitors insight into the history, culture, and traditions of the Xatśūll people.
