The new building will include the following features:

  • Service hub, which will include community spaces and integrated health and social services.

Once complete, the old building will be removed and replaced with a new revitalized park space. Completion is expected in 2021 and the park in 2022.

Peel Manor has been serving the community since 1898. It started as a house of refuge and is now a long-term home, Peel Region Review reports. The centre is home to 177 people and hosts adult day services and Meals on Wheels for the community.
