"Clear Course has been a trusted partner for Líl̓wat for many years. They recently worked with our team on the re-awakening of the Pq’usnalcw childcare facility that will provide early childhood education for our community. Their tenacious and highly responsive team worked so closely with ours, patiently meeting us where we were at to get our proposals across the finish line. Together, our teamwork resulted in securing funds for both capital and operating costs for Pq’usnalcw – for the benefit of the Líl̓wat community for years to come.” ~ Jessica Frank, Health Director, Líl̓wat Health & Healing, Líl̓wat Nation
