Cooke Florist, furnished and decorated three units to help highlight the apartments. Each of the 12 units have two bedrooms, a kitchen, washroom and living room.

Construction, Clinton and Blyth. Paul Josling was present for the ribbon cutting ceremony, adding his thanks to Mr. Bailey for the challenge of erecting the apartment building. This project was made possible for Mr. Bailey under the Convert To Rent program offered by the Ministry of Housing. "They (the ministry) were just great," said Mr. Bailey. The Convert To Rent program comes into effect when the builder takes commercial or industrial property and converts it into residential. According to Mr. Bailey, this new apart- ment building replaces the one that was torn down in 1981. "We're real pleased that we've been able to take the property and do this...Only wish we could have done it sooner," he said. We're all ready for with a great new selection!
