The Slocan Valley Seniors’ Housing Society urges valley seniors to fill out the yellow surveys that arrived in mailboxes on Feb. 25.
“We propose to build seniors’ affordable rental housing in the village of Slocan,” said society president Rita Moir. “This project is for the entire valley, and we need to know what seniors want and need.”
Completed surveys can be dropped off at numerous valley locations, including village offices and businesses.
The society will also hold public meetings to display draft housing designs; people can also bring their surveys or get help with them, ask questions and provide input.
Meetings are set for Saturday at Silverton Memorial Hall at 11 a.m. and Knox Hall in New Denver at 2 p.m.; Crescent Valley Hall on Wednesday, March 11 at 7 p.m.; Winlaw Hall on Thursday, March 12 at 7 p.m.; and the Royal Canadian Legion Hall in Slocan on St. Patrick’s Day, March 17 at 5:30 p.m.
