With the pending applications for urban intensification, especially for seniors wishing to live out their final years in the urban, downtown core, and given that the community has already invested highly in the downtown area with the the theatre and River Mill Park I would like to see consideration given to the development of a seniors centre incorporating both Club 55 and the Centennial Seniors into a new Seniors Centre that would provide services specifically meeting their needs. Further to that I think the 'proposed condo-land' in the River Mill Park area should instead be considered as the location of a new senior centre. There is available parking, close to the water front making it a lovely spot to congregate.Our neighbour to the south, Gravenhurst has already recognized this need and have provided an excellant facility for their seniors. Huntsville has been recognized as being generally ahead of the pack province wide and a leader in senior activity. We need to keep that pace.

Hello. My name is Casey W. and I am a Grade 8 student. I think a Seniors Facility is a great idea for the town of Huntsville because this lovely town is usually made up of men and women who can’t look after themselves as well anymore. They need all the help they can get and I think this town should have thought of this idea sooner. They need help 24/7 and they would have a place to live and they would be around people their age and they wouldn’t have to worry about the nasty teenagers doing nasty things to them. Please consider this great idea of a Seniors Facility because sooner or later, the old men and women will need more help and we will be able to give it to them.
