Re - Senior's housing

History shows "the one who holds the pen writes it" So then, What Legacy of a community is the Mayors office writing for us?

Are we destined to be a perpetual aging community or one establishing growth?

With a creative approach , and an open door pioneer policy could our northern communities not reach out to frustrated city planning folks and assist young families at risk with interest in gaining a country living experience .

Now I realize everyone screams JOBs . However , in the modern age of international computer driven young entrepreneurs not be encouraged.

Tradesman like a decent mechanic , plumbers and PSW's.

Would assist the roughly 1200 northern full time settlers already here .

The cities housing crisis has reached fever pitch in recent years with more and more young families @ risk of homelessness Meanwhile this little town has under twenty children in the school playground?

Our past focus on cottagers and summer dwellers is great , but, has left our towns vastly abandoned of families and clansmen .

The idea of building a specific seniors building is noble , however , how equipped are we with the support systems Required. In recent years I have witnessed a sharp decline in the senior services since my Grandmothers time (1917-2015) the level of senior Club activities and stimulating bus trips have virtually disappeared . What plans are in place to help facilitate the special needs our seniors deserve ?

Sudden and drastic life changes occur regularly changing the counties tenancy And the occupants ability to remain in the harsh terrine without More supports .

Recently the town of Sharbot Lake gained a magnificent example of gracious senior living with lake front views . Even with all that in a town totally equipped and planning future expansion with possible rail service This place is over half empty ! ?

The idea of moving seniors further north with less success in infrastructure planning seems a hard sell . And makes me ponder what counsel is more motivated by a genuine care for senior lifestyle or a federal cash allowance ? The Holistic health care scare of moving seniors where the areas are so under equipped to meet their needs seems short sited @ present for the lifestyle needs seniors deserve and require .
