Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
2nd Session
42nd Parliament
A
Member
for
elvis
formation.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I
would
first
like
to
acknowledge
that
I
come
to
you
from
the
unceded
and
ancestral
territory
of
the
stallow
people
june
6
to
12th
marks
seniors
week
in
british
columbia,
and
it
is
with
great
pride.
I
rise
today
to
mark
the
occasion
by
shining
a
light
on
a
massive
project
that
has
provided
much
needed
and
dignified
housing
to
seniors.
A
In
my
riding
of
abbotsford
mission,
thanks
to
the
recently
opened
boswick
center
in
the
district
of
mission,
seniors
with
moderate
and
low
incomes
can
now
enjoy
74
additional,
affordable
homes,
as
well
as
a
seniors
activity
center.
This
government
has
invested
7.4
million
dollars
in
the
project
with
the
building
bc.
Community
housing
fund,
as
well
as
an
additional
8.5
million
in
construction
financing.
The
province
is
also
providing
approximately
197
000
in
annual
operating
funding.
A
Last
week
I
know
from
talking
to
constituents
and
through
my
previous
role
with
the
district,
how
much
these
homes
are
needed
in
mission,
and
this
project
is
a
great
testament
to
a
government
that
is
committed
to
helping
the
vulnerable
and
at
risk
in
the
valley
and
in
this
province
and
a
strong
step
in
addressing
the
housing
crunch.
So
many
of
our
seniors
face.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
