11.1
Re-Development Update - Rod Sutherland
 

Director Sutherland had a call in December with staff from the Ministry of Health Re-development Branch. At that time it was advised there was a intake for the re-development process that was finished last year and at this point they have no further direction as to whether another intake will occur for applications. This poses the question if there is a requirement to re-develop. Previous direction was all homes have to meet the new standards by 2025. As a municipal home the requirement is to meet the fire codes by that time, which is a sprinkler system and Victoria Manor does meet these fire codes. The Ministry Staff from their stand point currently re-development is not necessarily required. Future intakes were inquired about as there was indication there would be additional intakes to the current re-development strategy. There is no indication or direction at this point whether or not there will be another intake or when that would be. In terms of re-development, without the application for the provincial funding, without the direction that we must re-develop by 2025, there would not be that requirement. Additional follow-up will be done to further clarify expectations and requirements around the standards. For now this is the direction.
