The work of the Résidence Meilleur du Haut-Pontiac began

The construction work of the Résidence Meilleur du Haut-Pontiac officially started yesterday, on Isle-aux-Allumettes. The building, requiring investments totaling more than $ 3.1 million, should include 12 affordable housing units for seniors who need a bit of help day to day but who can handle a certain level of independence. 9 of these units will have one bedroom and 3 units will have 2. There will be a common area including a kitchen and laundry.

The member for Pontiac and Minister of Transport, Sustainable Mobility and Electrification of Transportation, André Fortin, spoke to CHIP 101.9 about the project.

Also at the announcement, Pontiac MRC Warden Jane Toller, said that it is a priority to keep seniors in the Pontiac.

Pontiac MP William Amos and Winston Sunstrum, Mayor of L’Isle-aux-Allumettes were also on the scene, which brought together some 100 people.
