Community Announcement—Health Care Village

The Petrolia Bluewater Open House / Public Meeting scheduled for October 3,
2017 is being rescheduled for later in the Fall – with a date to be announced
within the next few weeks. This decision was made by the Town and the
Hospital given the extensive information required by the architects and plan-
ners, which will be shared with the community. Community engagement is an
important, valuable element to this initiative and both parties want to come to
the community with as much information as possible regarding proposed plans,
programs, timing, funding and location options.
