Coming Soon!
FORT ST. JOHN SENIOR'S HOUSING PROJECT
AND ACTIVE ADULT COMMUNITY
We are full steam ahead!
On July 22nd, 2019, Fort St. John City Council gave the green light for Peace Holdings to develop an active adult community next to the Fort St. John Hospital.
Thank you
This was truly a community effort, and there are so many people to thank, including those who took the time to write letters of support and the many who show up, time and again, to champion this project. The council heard directly from people with mobility challenges, seniors, affordable housing advocates and parties invested in the economic growth of Fort St. John.
Next Steps
Our next steps will include meetings with engineers and planners to refine the process, as well as continuing talks with an interested non-profit regarding the management of the new development.
Senior's Housing Initiatives
PHASE 1
CONTINUUM OF CARE PROJECT CONSULTATION
Phase 1 of the Continuum of Care Project Consultation
completed January 2019.
We are in the process of designing a community in Fort St.
John, located next door to the new hospital, that
accommodates a full Continuum of Care for older adults –
providing residents with the flexibility and freedom to
transition within their own community.
To ensure that we meet the immediate needs of residents,
we held the Seniors Housing Forum - a needs and interests’
assessment - where we engaged with the community
directly. It was important to us to hear what residents had to
say, and in their own words.
The Seniors Housing Forum was a great success.
A report that summarizing the findings, and specifically the
data uncovered during the Continuum of Care Survey and
Public Senior Housing Focus Groups, is available for viewing.
PHASE 2
COMMUNITY CONSULTATION SURVEY
Phase 2 of the Continuum of Care Project Consultation
completed May 2019.
Our second phase of consultation built on the successes of
the first, and dug deeper into the needs and requirements
of the senior community.
We developed a new series of questions focused on unit
size, format and affordability criteria which will be
instrumental in helping to shape these areas of the
proposed development.
Stay tuned for results from Phase 2 of our Community Consultation.
