County to debate a new Terrace Lodge Tuesday, Sept. 9

A building committee overseeing planned renovations to Terrace Lodge long-term care home in Malahide is now calling for a complete replacement adjacent to the current facility to be designed instead.

Cost estimates for a Class “A” home (the current one has a provincial “C” rating) would then be used to lobby the Ontario government for funding to help pay for construction, the committee urged after a recent public meeting at Terrace Lodge demonstrated many wanted a new facility.

County council will discuss that recommendation early in its meeting, which starts at the Elgin administration building on Sunset Drive south of St. Thomas on Tuesday, Sept. 9, at 9 a.m.
