Gáw'en (student lounge)

Ts̓zil's student lounge was officially named Gáw'en by students and the community. It means "to gather people/things together in one place" in Ucwalmícwts, the language of the Líl̓wat people. In Gáw'en, students will find a warm cup of complementary coffee, and the use of plates, cups, utensils, a kettle and a microwave.

Gatherings around food happen here almost weekly throughout the school year, and it’s a place where elders and Líl̓wat knowledge keepers offer cultural teachings on Fridays after lunch.

Ts̓zil does not have a cafeteria, so the student lounge Gáw'en is often used for preparing or heating up meals. Also, next door is the new Líl̓wat-run gas station with convenience store. Sandwiches and other warm and cold food options and drinks can be purchased there.

Líl̓wat7úl Culture Centre

Also located in the Ts̓zil Learning Centre is the Líl̓wat7úl Culture Centre, where students and visitors can explore the culture of the Líl̓wat people.

In addition to cultural items on display, people can purchase books on Líl̓wat's history, Ucwalmícwts language and traditional plants, as well as crafts by local artists and various other Líl̓wat and First Nations items.
