HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Brussels Post, 1977-06-29, Page 5vacancies is not a lack of seniors it is the second floor. He said quite a few of the elderly want no part of a second floor unit. "The people that are upstairs will have to come down in a few years," he said. "The second floor is only acceptable to, the people that can climb the stairs." Mr. Knisley said the problem would have to be worked out since the ministry of housing will not consider installation of an elevator for any building less than three floors. East Wawanosh reeve Simon Hallahan said he was 78 years old and had just recently climbed the 400 stairs to the Tiger Dunlop tomb. He said he hoped when he was a senior citizen that he could move into one of those units like the one in Brussels. Seaforth reeve John Flannery said he may be wrong but pointed out that when the units built in Seaforth were under construction the town learned that it qualified for a second complex, He said the qualifications were based on Seaforth's population and that no official application had been made by McKillop township. He said he and most everyone connected with the project knew there were eligible seniors in the township but could do nothing about them unless the township council formally applied. Council did not grant the authority the right to placement of the seniors but Aid agree to examine the merits of the county authority being responsible for placement and the county being responsible for absorbing any losses on the projects. The county would pay the losses and then assess them against the appropriate municipalities. PICK YOUR OWN STRAWBERRIES on irrigated, weed-free patch. Season opens June 20, 8 :00 a.m. to 12 Noon.

Reeve cce Campbell said a questionnaire was sent to senior citizens in the township and that the council had never seen or heard of the results. He said the returned forms were sent to Toronto and although quite a number of people in the township qualify for a unit nothing was ever heard, „My God is there no way McKillop can get implicated with either Brussels or Seaforth," he A large crowd of family and friends gathered at the Brussels Arena on June 24th to celebrate he35th Wedding Anniversary of Jack and Mary Lowe.

He said he could agree to the authority having the right to place people in the units but felt that the right should be tempered to prevent someone from the north end of the county from being moved to a unit in the south end. Mr. Knisley said the placement of the seniors is done at their own request and that if someone didn't want to move into a particular unit because of location they wouldn't have to. He said in some cases the people have moved quite a distance but they have asked adding that the placement would not be done in any arbitrary fash ion. Morris Reeve Bill Elston said he was on the committee operating the Brussels unit and that as of a meeting 10 days ago the bottom floor of the unit was full and there was a waiting list. for the downstairs units. he said the problem with the five Get your rear in gear.

Mr. Knisley .said that there were five vacancies in the Brussels unit recently and that the McKillop people in need would have been there if the county authority had the privilege of placing them. He said, McKillop would have to make an agreement with. Brussels to handle the appropriate share of any losses the unit incurs and the residents would be free to move in as the units are available. The municipality sponsoring the units is reponsible for seven percent of any annual losses it suffers and he suggested that the percentage of the loss would be calculated according to use per municipality involved.
