The increase in senior’s population is really concerning to the Housing Corporation. We recognize that within the next five years, as much as 25 per cent increase in senior’s population within our territory. So in response to that, we’re really focusing on building senior’s independent living complexes within the communities and we’ve collaborated with Health and Social Services Department on the design of these complexes to make sure that they’re the most appropriate we can for our aging population.

The most recently completed facility, like I said, was in Fort Liard and that will be fully operational very soon. Of those facilities that we’re looking at building, they’ll house eight seniors in each unit and then they’ll also have a place for a caregiver within that just to make sure that the wellness of seniors is maintained as well.
