MacDonald Hall Construction Set to Begin

Construction is set to begin on a new group home to replace MacDonald Hall in Inverness County, Tourism and Culture Minister Rodney MacDonald announced today, July 30, on behalf of Community Services Minister, David Morse.

"The new MacDonald Hall has been designed to meet residents' needs and will be an important addition to our community," said Mr. MacDonald. "This new centre will ensure that MacDonald Hall residents will not only be able to stay in their home community but live in the comfort of a brand-new home, with family and friends close by."

The new home will be built adjacent to the existing MacDonald Hall and will offer enhanced accessibility, home-like comforts and ample green space for residents. The estimated capital costs are about $600,000. The home will accommodate residents currently at MacDonald Hall.

MacDonald Hall is funded under the Community Supports for Adults program, which provides a wide range of services for adults with disabilities who need support to live in the community. Those services include group homes, small-option homes, adult residential centres, supervised apartments and adult service centres.
