ZURICH – Blue Water Rest Home in Zurich formally opened its redeveloped facility today (Sept. 17) with a ceremony that included many local dignitaries.
The $10.8 million, 22-month project was completed in two phases, the first of which resulted in new construction of a 32-bed "Sunset Home" area, two new dining rooms, and activity and amenity spaces for all residents, according to a press release.
Phase 2 was completed in August, with renovated living quarters for 33 residents in a "Harvest Home" area.
Huron-Bruce MP Ben Lobb, MPP Carol Mitchell (who is also Ontario Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs) and Bluewater mayoral candidate Bill Dowson were among those who spoke at the event.
Blue Water is the site of the first 65 beds of a project that will see 35,000 beds redeveloped across Ontario, the press release states.
A full report will appear in the Sept. 25 edition of the Times-Advocate
