LOCATION
Ottawa
In partnership with Ottawa Salus Corporation and CSV Architects, we’re bringing you an up close look at a brand new supportive housing project in Ottawa, Ontario.
The new Capilano building is carefully designed to integrate with the surrounding community. The apartments and its setting will include helpful amenities for adults who may have lived too long in isolation, such as gathering spaces for socialization and family visits and access to comforting green spaces. In private units and common building areas, tenants with mobility issues will have accessibility features such as ramps, automated doors, and grab bars.
Join us at this building for a presentation, building tour, and plenty of networking time with refreshments.
