Hesperus prepares to welcome new residents in the Fall of 2011!!!

Construction has been well underway since the winter of 2009, and the reality of our expanded facility is quickly approaching. 

Our new facility (Hesperus II) will contain a congregate dining room, an expanded medical office for Pegasus Therapeutics and will be the new home to over 60 elderly community members.  Our partnerships with other community organizations, such as Canadian Mental Health Association, Yellow Brick House, and East Sandgate and Regional Municipality of York Region have strengthened us. 

Thanks to a grant from the Home Depot Foundation of Canada, as well as a grant from the Social Housing Retrofit and Renovation Program, Hesperus I has also hummed with the sounds of drills and hammers.  New windows were installed in select apartments and a connection to municipal water have been a few of the upgrades made to this beautiful building as well.

The organization continues to restructure as we prepare for the growth.  The realization of the capital fundraising goal is still a primary objective.  There are many ways for people to contribute to the growth of Hesperus.  Please contact Pina Corigliano to find out more.
