Civeo Corporation has donated 422 thousand dollars worth of land to help bring a dimentia facility to Kitimat.
In total, the Corporation gifted 12 acres of land to the Kitimat Valley Housing Society for the project, which is also supported by the Haisla Nation, Northern Health, Kitimat Community Services Society, and the Kitimat General Hospital Foundation.
With the help of Northern Health and the Community Services Society, a business plan to develop the facility was completed earlier in the year and forwarded to Northern Health’s board for approval.
According to the Housing Society, they are awaiting a final commitment from Northern Health, which they hope to come down early in the new year.
