The federal and provincial governments are investing over $365,000 to improve ventilation at the Belvedere Heights long-term care home.
This was announced by the Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities; the Honourable Stan Cho, Ontario Minister of Long-Term Care; and Kami Johnston, Administrator of Belvedere Heights.
Belvedere Heights is located on the historic site of the former Belvedere Hotel. The long-term care home will undergo filtration upgrades to maintain an exceptional level of care and a safe living environment.
Prominent figures, including Queen Elizabeth II, stayed at the Belvedere Hotel prior to a fire in 1961. After the fire, the grounds were used to create a long-term care home, with a beautiful view of Georgian Bay, for residents to enjoy.
