Update Regarding peopleCare Long-Term Care Home

The Town of The Blue Mountains would like to provide the public with an update regarding the partnership with peopleCare Communities to build a new long-term care (LTC) home in the Craigleith area on a section of the former Tee’s Please property.

Previously, the Town had indicated that a report with the details of the purchase and sale agreement would be presented at an open session of Council in June 2025. The project remains on track, but additional time is required for site analysis to be completed before the report can be presented.

The importance of increasing access to LTC in the Town is a long-standing community priority that Council remains committed to. Details regarding the report will be posted on the Town website and project webpage. The project webpage, which includes an FAQ document, has been launched to provide transparency and information related to the project. For details, visit: www.thebluemountains.ca/LTC.

July 20-26 is National Drowning Prevention Week

The Lifesaving Society will be recognizing July 20-26, 2025, as National Drowning Prevention Week. With warm weather here, it's crucial to remember and practice water safety skills. The Town's beaches are not patrolled by lifeguards, so this information is even more important to keep in mind. Drowning is fast and silent, but every drowning death is preventable with water safety knowledge and common sense.
