Garfield Hotel

In the spring of 2008 the former Garfield Hotel site at 1105 Royal Ave at 11 St will be torn down to make way for 24 units of transitional and supportive housing units. Although the project will provide a minimal increase in the number of overall affordable housing units, this project will allow the new units to be of a higher standard then is currently available at the hotel.

Throughout the spring of 2007 the Lookout Emergency Aid Society (the operator) conducted an extensive public consultation process with the Association and the community at large. At the meeting of Council held on December 3rd 2007, council voted in favour of the necessary Official Community Plan and rezoning amendments required to make this project go forward.

Our president, Rick Carswell was at the Public Hearing to express the association's unanimous support for this project.
