Labrador West Pioneer Living Inc.

We are meeting tomorrow with the Town of Labrador City to present to them our plan for the former Captain William Memorial Hospital.

HELLO EVERYONE, WE ARE LOOKING FOR SENIORS WHO ARE READY TO MOVE INTO A SENIORS HOME. CBC RADIO WILL LIKE TO INTERVIEW ANYONE WHO IS READY TO DO SO. THIS WILL PUT PRESSURE ON OUR GOVERNMENT TO HELP US FUND THE PROJECT. WE HAVE APPLIED FOR MONEY TO TRANSFORM THE FORMER CAPTAIN WILLIAM JACKMAN HOSPITAL INTO SENIORS APARTMENTS, BUT WE HAVE BEEN DENIED. THERE IS A GREAT, GREAT NEED FOR SUCH ACCOMMODATIONS HERE IN LABRADOR WEST AND IT SEEMS THAT OUR GOVERNMENT DOES NOT REALIZE THAT. OUR PLAN IS TO GET AS MANY SENIORS WHO ARE READY TO MOVE INTO SENIORS LIVING TO PHONE MEGHAN AT CBC FOR AN INTERVIEW. THE NUMBER IS 709-725-3597. I REALIZE MANY ARE SHY TO DO SO, BUT ON THE OTHER HAND IT WOULD HELP US TREMENDOUSLY TO GET THE MONEY TO GET THESE APARTMENTS BUILT FOR YOU TO ENJOY. THANKS FOR DOING THIS FOR US.

This is what the Pioneers Place will look like when the Old Hospital is transformed into AFFORDABLE Apartments for Seniors in Labrador West

AN APPLICATION WAS SUBMITTED TO CMHC UNDER THE RAPID HOUSING INITIATIVE (RHI) FOR FUNDING TO TRANSFORM THE FORMER HOSPITAL AND ANNEX INTO ACCESSIBLE AND AFFORDABLE APARTMENTS FOR SENIORS' LIVING. KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED THAT WE WILL BE SUCCESSFUL.!! NOTE: WE WERE NOT SUCCESSFUL IN OBTAINING FUNDING FOR OUR PROJECT. HOWEVER OUR APPLICATION IS ON FILE AT CMHC IN THE EVENT THAT MORE FUNDING IS FORTHCOMING. IN THE MEATIME WE ARE EXPLORING OTHER AVENUES FOR FUNDING. AS USUAL LABRADOR WEST HAS BEEN IGNORED AGAIN. WE HAD A VERY GOOD ELIGIBLE APPLICATION AND SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED THE FUNDING. HOWEVER OTHER REGIONS OF THE COUNTRY GOT THE LION'S SHARE OF THE MONEY. WE WILL CONTINUE TO LOBBY GOVERNMENT IN OUR EFFORTS TO FILL THIS GREAT NEED OF AFFORDABLE SENIORS HOUSING IN LABRADOR WEST. HELP US IN ANY WAY YOU SEE POSSIBLE. THANKS.

Today, I met with George Saunders, a consultant for affordable housing, to begin the process of working with the newly-formed Seniors Pioneer Living Inc in Labr...ador West to develop seniors housing in Labrador West. The new Federal/provincial Affordable Housing Strategy will be released on Wednesday. See more
