De dwa da dehs nye>s, in partnership with McMaster University Department of Family Medicine, will be constructing a new building for their Hamilton site that will offer a basket of Primary and Allied Health Services.

Ontario Housing Services will be creating 80-100 fair market rental housing units on the property. The Biindigen Well-Being Centre is possible by financial support from the federal, provincial, and municipal governments.
