A brand new seniors center has opened up in Rimbey.

The Valley View Manor seniors center features eighty units that will offer better flexibility to its residents and allow seniors to stay closer to their loved ones.

Minister of Natural Resources Amarjeet Sohi and Red Deer North MLA Kim Schreiner were on hand for the grand opening on Wednesday.

“Seniors from this tight-knit community will have access to safe, modern, and affordable housing so that they can remain in Rimbey and benefit from valuable fellowship with family and loved ones,” said Sohi.

The new Valley View Manor replaces the existing facility with capacity increasing from 63 to 80 units.

The governments of Canada and Alberta provided a combined investment of $16 million for this redevelopment project, under the Investment in Affordable Housing 2014-2019 Agreement.
