Grande Prairie’s Coordinated Care Campus received a $780K bump in funding from the Financial Stabilization Reserve to replace the facility’s roof.
The city purchased the repurposed hotel and conference centre in 2021 and the building required a roof replacement in two to five years. Grande Prairie Mayor Jackie Clayton says the decision was made because the facility has already been revamped and modified several times to suit the needs of the campus.
“Council decided that it was an appropriate time to do the roof before we move everybody in and in short time need to move everybody out to redo the roof,” she says.
Construction on the roof will begin as part of Phase 3 of renovations, which includes 43 units on the top floor, adding to the already completed 63 rooms in the facility.
