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.
The press release issued by the Town on May 14, 2025, indicated that a report with details of the purchase and sale agreement would be presented at an open session of Council in June 2025. The Town would like to assure the public that the project is on track, but that additional time is required for site analysis to be completed before the report and agreement details are 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.
As a reminder, after the land sale is finalized, peopleCare will submit a planning application and undertake the planning process, which includes amendments to the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, and opportunities for public engagement through open house meetings and a formal public meeting. Once these public processes are concluded, the home will be subject to Site Plan Control before a building permit is issued.
A project webpage, including an FAQ document, has been launched to provide transparency and information related to the project. For details, visit: www.thebluemountains.
