Property Owners Urge Central Saanich to Reconsider Expropriation

The owners of property being expropriated by the District of Central Saanich are urging the municipality to reconsider.

The land, across the street from Centennial Park, was identified years ago by the Capital Health Region, now Island Health, as a desirable location for a long-term care facility, but the health authority didn’t have the money to purchase the land when it was for sale in 2006, said Lina Saba, senior director of brand communications and marketing at Park Place Seniors Living.

Park Place has been ­waiting for Island Health to issue a request for proposals for a ­provider to build and operate a long-term care facility. “We’re just waiting for Island Health to come forward to say we’re looking to build and then we would respond to it with the land that we have there,” Saba said.

About 11 per cent of the Island’s population is over 75, and that figure is expected to reach 24 per cent by 2041, meaning nearly 200,000 Island residents will be over 75, she said.
