New Diamond Willow Seniors Lodge opens in Magrath
MAGRATH – A new state of the art seniors lodge, known as the new Diamond Willow Lodge, officially opened its doors on Tuesday, Feb. 20 in Magrath.
The facility is part of the effort both the federal and provincial governments are putting into making lives better for seniors in Magrath and the surrounding communities.
Kim Schnoor, Chinook Foundation Chief Administrative Officer, says it’s important for the well-being of their seniors that they have the opportunity to live in the community of their choice.
“This project has been a couple of years in the making with construction taking place. The old facility had some of the traditional very small rooms, so we were lacking space, but this new lodge represents a tremendous stride forward,” Schnoor said.
