BC Housing anticipates that all necessary permits to allow for occupancy of the supportive housing project at 749 School Road will be secured during the second week of March.
On March 5, BC Housing spokesperson Henry Glazebrook advised the Local that tenant move-in is “on track to begin immediately thereafter.”
Exterior work at the site is expected to be complete by the end of April, according to Glazebrook. This is to include landscaping and the addition of Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) First Nation-inspired artwork on the structure.
“A name has not yet been chosen for the site. More information is to come soon,” said Glazebrook.
Tenant welcome packages created with donations from various organizations within the municipality (previously described in a March 4 article) also include an annual membership to the Sunshine Coast Museum and Archives. While the Museum, at 716 Winn Road in Gibsons, remains closed until further notice due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a brochure and information package is being provided to help the tenants enjoy the “Sunshine Coast Museum at Home” offering until the physical site
reopens.
