LAC DU BONNET, MAN. – The Manitoba government is including funding for a new personal care home in Lac du Bonnet, Man.
The total project cost is currently estimated at $66.4 million including construction, design, equipment, furnishings, net taxes and interim financing costs, a Manitoba government release said.
The new 95-bed personal care home will replace an existing 30-bed facility and was selected based on high need in the area. The project was cancelled by the previous government in 2017 and announced as one of six personal care homes which Treasury Board documents note were approved in principle but not funded, stated Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew.
“The construction of a new personal care home has long been desired. Due to the work of many and the commitment of our new government, the desire and need of our senior community and families has culminated in this announcement,” Lac du Bonnet mayor Ken Lodge added.
Completion of the project is currently targeted for 2027.
