Pine Tree Park Pallet Village Questions
Below are some answers to questions received since the announcement of Pine Tree Park as the location for the CBRM Pallet Village.
The Village at Pine Tree Park will be comprised of 30-35 individual dwelling units and one large, accessible, programming-communal building. The large, shared building will include ten individual washrooms with showers. Two of these ten will be accessible. It will also include staff offices, two washing machines and two dryers, a staff washroom, three clinical meeting rooms, a large programming-social space, and a kitchen.
At Pine Tree Park, rather than purchasing and bringing in a new modular programming-communal building, we are able to repurpose an existing, but unused building (one of the former welding college buildings) to serve this purpose. One of the two buildings will be gutted and renovated inside. Both buildings will get an exterior face lift (coat of paint, roof, exterior lighting). We’re big fans of reusing existing buildings for new purposes and know this is a more environmentally friendly approach when possible. Work on this renovation is underway now.
Residents at the Village at Pine Tree Park are not permitted to have visitors on site, so staffing ratios are being planned for the presence of 35 residents.
