Thank you, Mr. Chair. When we first started planning for the new seniors complexes in the smaller communities, we really looked at a couple of different variables. Of course, we looked at the seniors population themselves by community and looked at where the growth is in that area.

We have got about 280 or so targeted public housing units for seniors now, so we looked at which communities those are in and looked for communities that may be underserved in terms of the existing independent living facilities that are targeted at seniors in those smaller communities. Through that we were able to see certain communities – Fort Good Hope, Fort McPherson, Whati and Fort Liard – where there weren’t targeted facilities that really stood out as communities where there was that immediate kind of need.

There are other communities, and certainly in public housing generally there are about 650 of our units that are occupied by seniors, but there certainly is growing demand, as the Member is well aware, in terms of the aging population. But that is sort of the factors that we looked at in the initial round to try to find the communities where that initial need was apparent that we could put these facilities. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
