A long-term seniors' care centre in Port Coquitlam will get an injection of federal funds to replace some floors.
Today, Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam Liberal MP Ron McKinnon announced the $24,714 grant to update the deteriorating flooring at Hawthorne Lodge that is used for adult day program activities.
The cash, given under the government's New Horizons for Seniors Program, is for the Hawthorne's These Floors are Made for Walking capital project.
In a news release, McKinnon urged Tri-City seniors groups to apply for New Horizons money. "We support New Horizons for Seniors Program projects like Hawthorne Seniors Care Community so that seniors across Canada can lead and participate in local activities to stay active and connected," he said.
