The announcement was made today today by the Honourable John Me Dei in id. Minister of Slate (I lousing), and Ontario Housing Minister Chaviva Hosek. The 89 unit development at John ' and Centre Streets is being sponsored sponsored by Sunrise, Seniors Place (Oshawa-Durham) Inc. "This project results from the federal-pro vinical social housing agreement which allows us to meet housing needs in the most efficient and effective way possible,'* said Mr. McDermid. A thoughtful gesture makes for a wholesome feeling It had to be some'three weeks ago that sister Jean gave us a call informing informing us that Strathaven Nursing Home in Bowmanville was holding a Memorial Service for a number of residents who had passed away at the home over the past couple of months. Included in the nine to be remembered at the Service was our aunt Eva Maluski. She had lived with her two sisters, lone Forrester and Ethel Bouck on the third line of Clarke. All three sisters have been residents of the Nursing Home until Eva's death the latter part of 1988. Both .Jean and I felt the Memorial Service was a thoughtful gesture on the part of the Nursing Home in that these nine former residents were being recognized and remembered. On leaving the service we were more than pleased and left, with what I suppose one could describe, as a wholesome feeling. It was a good feeling. There were a number of events and happenings that did make the event special, even on occasion, to a lighter side. It will be difficult to recreate the atmosphere that existed with mere words. But first and foremost it was those taking part that made the difference. difference. The Nursing Home has its own resident choir . Some wheeled-in in a wheel chair, others on the arm of a nurse and still others on their own steam. Staff members at the home also, took part in the choir. Rev. Tom Smith, retired some years ago from the Newcastle United Church, conducted the Memorial Service with apparent delight. Now living next door to the Nursing Home Smith surely is a constant visitor to the home and no doubt a tower of strength to many of the residents. It was a down-to-earth and simple simple service but with a sincere presentation presentation and meaning. It did have its lighter moments that brought a smile and an inward chuckle. Two residents immediately "I am very pleased that we are able to assist senior citizens in Oshawa," he added. Ms. Hosek said: "The 89 units in Oshawa are an integral part of our' efforts to assure affordable housing for the people of Ontario." The $8.3 million capital cost of the development is being met with a 35 year mortgage loan from Canada Life. The loan is insured under the National Housing act by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. Corporation. The total annual operating subsidy subsidy for the 89 unit project is estimated at more than $967,000. It is expected that 55 of the units will be allocated to needy households. Subsidies on these units will be shared by the governments governments of Canada and Ontario on a 60:40 basis. The province will provide subsidies subsidies for 18 units, expected to be made available with rents based on household incomes. The remaining 16 units are expected to be' made available at the market rental rate, with amounts based 'initially on rents of comparable accommodation accommodation in the community. behind us entered the hymn singing with gusto but a way off key, so much so it was difficult to carry your own tune. The Rev. Smith spoke of one deceased who he described as not a very good spouse only to be corrected from the audience audience by a family member. Jean, and I wondered just what might be said of aunt Eva as she had never accepted nursing home life and was always strong-minded as to her likes and dislikes. If one had to pick a highlight of the service, and perhaps this is not fair, but it would be a vocal soslo by a lady about to celebrate her one hundredth birthday. Amy Tait, who celebrates her hundredth on February 14th, sang verses two and three of "When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder, I'll Be There" and without need of the printed words. The whole event "A thoughtful gesture for a wholesome feeling" Happenings .... DURHAM EAST LIBERAL ASSOC.
