Ground Broken for Beverly Heights Seniors Living

bhclpublicity Uncategorized

 

Shovels are in the ground for the new long term care home

On July 16, several of us board members and many from the larger community attended the ground-breaking ceremony the site of the old Christian School (115AVE and 36ST). After many years as an empty field, the site is being turned into a long term care home by Park Place. The new building will have 264 beds, courtyards, social activities, and will provide over 260 jobs.

The project is a collaboration between Park Place and all three levels of government. Moving the first golden spade-fuls of soil were Al Jina, president of Park Place; Jason Nixon, Minister for Assisted Living and Social Services; Mayor Amarjeet Sohi; and Ashley Salvador, Councillor for Ward Métis.

Park Place has a 32 year history providing homes for seniors with varying care needs from independent living to complex healthcare requirements. They have 41 building totals with several in the Edmonton area. Beverly Heights Seniors Living will take the place of the existing Hardisty location.

Beverly Motel Conversion

The Beverly Heights and Beacon Heights Community Leagues are hosting a presentation and Q&A by Native Counselling Services of Alberta on June 16th at the Beverly Heights Community Hall

The NCSA is looking to acquire the Beverly Motel for the purposes of converting it to supportive transitional housing for unhoused people in our community. They focus on traditional Indigenous healing and partner with many organizations to guide residents towards employment and permanent housing.

Blake Jackman, the NSCA's Director for Housing, will be speaking accompanied by Jennifer Bryce.

In Blake's words:

"Our approach to recovery is not new, it is historic and deeply rooted in our values. Substance use, including alcohol, is not tolerated in our programs. We have clear and firm policies in place, and our team will provide 24-hour staffing to ensure these policies are upheld. Staff will complete regular rounds both within the site and around the perimeter in the surrounding community, maintaining safety and accountability at all times.

Our organization has a 55-year track record of delivering culturally grounded, respectful, and effective support services. We are proud of the policies, program structure, and staffing we’ve developed to ensure we remain strong partners in the communities we reside in.

As a community member myself in Rundle Heights, I understand firsthand the challenges our neighbourhoods are facing. This program is not being brought in to worsen these challenges, it is being developed to help address them. Our goal is to be part of the solution and to ensure our presence strengthens the community as a whole.

Thank you again for your care and commitment to our neighbourhood. I look forward to continuing the conversation on June 16th"

Alley Renewal Underway!

As many of us already know, the alley renewal project for Beverly Heights is ongoing. Reports coming in from neighbours have been generally positive with work progressing quick with relatively minimal disruption.

In our house, we are not looking forward to the construction noise and disruption, but it will all be worth it to have smooth, well-draining alleys in the end!
