A Request for Proposal to provide much needed renovations and construct a new assisted living facility to provide a higher level of care to keep seniors in the Drumheller Valley is now open for bids.
The new facility will be funded by a $7 million grant by the provincial government to construct a 26 bed Enhanced Assisted Living facility, which will be attached to Hillview Lodge, while renovations to the 500 wing of Sunshine Lodge will be funded by the Drumheller and District Seniors Foundation (DDSF).
DDSF board chair and Town of Drumheller Councillor Tom Zariski told the Mail, “By combining the two projects into one (Request for Proposal) and one project, it should save both projects money.”
Two cornerstone documents for the Town of Drumheller, the Municipal Development Plan (MDP) and Land Use Bylaw (LUB), passed third reading during the regular Drumheller council meeting on Monday, December 7.
Amendments were made to the documents following a first reading in August this year, followed by a series of neighbourhood engagement sessions in mid-to-late October to let the public provide input.
“They (the MDP and LUB) needed modernization, but more than that, they needed to acknowledge the single biggest threat to development in the community the river and address how that threat can be reduced,” Councillor Jay Garbutt said during the meeting. “Using flood program funds to bring these new documents forward is the best reflection, so far, on leveraging that investment.”
