The Rotary Club has secured some $18,000 in donations for its proposed seniors housing project, but still doesn't know how much government funding is on the way. Rotarian Dave Kendall said the club is waiting to see how much the federal and provincial governments are willing to contribute through the Affordable Housing Initiative. Once they know, they expect to begin contacting people in the community who may be interested in supporting the project. The Rotarians hope to build a 16-suite seniors housing complex at Rotary Court. The club originally envisioned a much larger complex, one that would include 38 suites, but the project had to be scaled down to 16 suites when the governments declined to allocate the necessary funds. See 'Club' P.# Con't from P.# The governments did, however, commit $1 million to the endeavour, and now the club is waiting for clarification as to whether that money will apply to the downsized facility rather than the original project. The service group must have at least $300,000 lined up in the near future if the project is to come to fruition. The club has set aside a portion of that goal but now requires donations. Anyone interested in making a donation may phone 687-6488 or 687-5277 for more information.10/29/2004
