SEND A LETTER OF SUPPORT TO MAYOR & COUNCIL

To: Mayor and Councillors
District of West Vancouver

I’m sending this letter to express my full support for Baptist Housing’s plans to redevelop the Inglewood Care Centre.

This is a well thought-out proposal that involves a significant investment by Baptist Housing and takes advantage of funding and other support available from BC Housing, the Ministry of Health and CMHC for the benefit of our community.

This project retains all of the 230 long term care residences now at Inglewood, and supplements them with 130 more, at a time when our stock of long term care accommodations in West Vancouver is shrinking.

In addition to the long term care residences, I support adding 355 affordable and independent living suites on the Inglewood site to provide even more options for seniors.

There is not enough housing for the growing number of aging seniors in our community.  For many of them, living their retirement years in their present West Vancouver properties is too expensive and simply not an option.

What’s proposed for the new Inglewood Care Centre helps address West Vancouver’s urgent need for both long term care residences, and more seniors housing.

I urge you to support and approve Baptist Housing’s proposal for Inglewood.

Signed,
