Although construction funding is in place, there are expenses that will need to be covered, therefore, fund raising efforts will continue and community support is still needed and appreciated.
EBCH Directors and the RM of Piney Council will continue to advocate for the 2nd part of Phase III, the proposed 20-unit Personal Care Home and Supportive Housing.
Raising funds is an integral part of bringing this 2nd part of Phase III to reality.
