Planning for the development of a Respite Centre on the North Shore continues. In Oct. 2021 the City of North Vancouver council unanimously voted to rezone the 200 block of East Second Street to become a new “community hub” which will include a new Respite Centre operated by Care BC. Detailed planning for the building is currently underway and it is anticipated construction could begin in summer of 2023 and be completed 22–24 months later. Care BC’s Foundation has raised about one half of the capital funding required for this project. For more information, visit our fundraising campaign website, www.becauseyoucarebc.ca
