Ontario is giving the green light for a new long-term care facility in St.Marys.
Perth-Wellington MPP Randy Pettapiece says the province has approved a plan for the project from Kingsway Lodge in St.Marys.
It will include 62 upgraded beds and 66 new beds for a total of 128 beds.
Kingsway Lodge is one of 80 new long-term care projects across the province.
In total, Ontario will see 7,510 new and 4,197 upgraded long-term care spaces.
Pettapiece says it’s is a major investment: $933 million on top of the $1.75 billion already earmarked for delivery of 30,000 new spaces over ten years.
