options and studying the need for
the project. Bishop told media
that after much looking into
options the building of this state
of the art Mega Rest Home that
is referred to as “Project 6” came
to life.
The first phase of the project
is to build the new Grace Village
Care Pavilion and to transfer all
the residents to the new buildings. Then it will be Connaught's
turn to be converted into 20-16
apartments ranging from 1-3
bedroom suites. The goal of Connaught is to meet the needs of
seniors that are still able to live
on their own. This mega project
will take a lot of very hard work,
but we’re very sure with a lot of
planning and support from the
community it will bloom like field
of flowers very soon.
