SPECIAL PROJECTS

We excited to see the completion of our newest building project - Sunfield, a 62 Unit , Affordable Housing Residence this summer 2023. Our residents include seniors 55+ and people with designated disabilities. All of our residents from our Seafield Manor were moved to their new suites in Sunfield beginning July 2023 and completed in August 2023.

Report from our Building Project Chair

The Vancouver Island Free Daily printed an article about our Sunfield project when the City of Nanaimo issued the development permit for two new buildings, comprising 124 future independent living apartments for seniors at 1145 Seafield Crescent in Nanaimo’s hospital area. An artist’s sketch is provided as part of this article.
