QUESTION 256-17(5): REPLACEMENT OF JOE GREENLAND CENTRE

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a few questions for the Minister of Housing. I’d like to ask the Minister for an update on the Joe Greenland Centre. Thank you.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you, Mr. Blake. Minister of Municipal and Community affairs, Mr. McLeod.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The contract tenders should have gone out and we anticipate some of the work being done on the foundation in late spring and construction in the summer and fall and scheduled for a spring opening of 2015. Thank you.

The Minister actually answered all three of my questions here. That’s good news.

When can the elders in the community expect to move into that building? Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, I’ll just work on the one question. We worked closely with the community in identifying a location for the Joe Greenland Centre and their preference was the existing location. So the demolition took place and the building is down. If all goes according to schedule, the elders should be able to move back in there in spring of 2015. Thank you.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you, Mr. McLeod. The Member for Range Lake, Mr. Dolynny.
