The $4-milhion worth of work will see a total overhaul of the kitchen, laundry, ventilation and heating systems at the 40-year-old facility. The work is a co-operative venture between the Region and the Province. The Province wilI pick up haîf the tab for the extensive renovations but only if final drawings, tenders and a commitment from Durham are completed by the end of their fiscal year in March 1988. Projeet manager Harry Rammiler stressed the Province s offer would not be extended past the March deadline and urged council members not to dally on the matter. He said he had been informed by the Ministry of Community and Social Services that their $2-million share of the costs were only available tliis year as they had already started talks with other municipalities over priority construction for next year's budget. 'We (Durham and Fairview) would not be on the top of the list if we go beyond this current year," said Rammier. Fairview administrator Taslyn Green had previously indicated there were three areas of concern in the proposed work that would complete several years of renovations at the Whitby home for the aged: ventilation, which is almost non-existent; the heating system; itchen; and laundry. Social services comnissionei Gary Cubitt and committee chairman Diane Hamre have bot]h stressed the renovations to Fairview are not exactly optional. ministry that the facility must be either improved or closed down. Both have also cautioned in the past that if not done immediately, the Region would have to bear the entire cost, rather than have half paid by the Province. Work is already underway on the renovation of A and B wings. The $2-million initial project is expected to be completed next spring. Allowance for the final renovations will be made during the 1988 budget talks.
