Port Hardy: NI Seniors Housing Foundation and Rotary Seniors Housing looking at new housing options.
Since their BC Housing application was declined in 2021, the North Island Seniors Housing Foundation’s (NISHF) continues to look at alternatives for seniors and elders housing units in Port Hardy. Now, the foundation is partnering with Rotary Seniors Housing, which operates the Hardy Bay Rotary Seniors Lodge on Rupert Street. The Rupert Street property has room for another development, but requires some zoning changes. District council received the formal request to make legislative changes allowing the project to go ahead. They voted in favour of a new memorandum of understanding with the society to investigate developing the site over the next few years.
