Our Needs
Our current campaign is to raise $300,000.
We urgently require funds to ensure the safety and comfort of our residents. We are planning two major projects that require capital funding.
- Our recent donation of $50,000 has focused our attention on the front garden area. We want to enclose our garden and create an enjoyable outdoor seating space. At the moment it is most frustrating to our residents for there is no access to outdoor space. In addition we want to update our system that rings whenever a resident wearing a special arm band walks by the front door. This is irritating for all and the alarm goes off constantly to ensure that residents who should not leave the building in fact don’t leave but the noise is most upsetting to our population. Our donor has challenged us to find funds to complete this project which we anticipate will cost another $100,000.
- As many of you may know we are also having our domestic water system upgraded and we have new pipes throughout the building currently being installed. Recently during an inspection visit Vancouver Coastal informed us that our current handrail which is throughout the building is unsafe. This was not a surprise. To remove and replace the handrail will cost approximately $200,000. We would like to take advantage of the fact that construction crews are already on site and removal prior to painting would make logistical sense. We have 3200 feet of handrail. Please consider our campaign and donate $100 to enable us to purchase a foot of handrail.
Purchase $100.- per Feet of Handrail
