Construction delays push back opening that was originally set for 2023, GN spokesperson says
Construction of Rankin Inlet’s new elders centre is behind schedule but not over budget, says the Department of Community and Government Services.
The federal government announced earlier this month it is giving $25 million to the long-term care home, a project that is 90 per cent complete.
That money is issued through Infrastructure Canada’s Green and Inclusive Community Buildings program.
In order to be eligible to receive funding through the program, CGS had to identify projects that could be completed by a 2025 deadline, according to department spokesperson Hala Duale.
