The Ministry of Long-Term Care is reviewing a proposal from the Region of Niagara that would see 80 beds from Upper Canada Lodge redeveloped for a new long-term care home in Fort Erie.

The new 160-bed facility would also receive 80 beds from Gilmore Lodge in Grimsby.

An information session was scheduled for March 30 at the Niagara-on-the-Lake Community Centre, from 10 to 11 a.m. However, it has been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
