Email1976 - Seniors' apartment and community centre opens
The need
Seniors need apartment-style accommodation that offers support services to help them live as independently as possible and offers easy access to social and recreational activites.
The response
Baycrest Terrace opens in 1976, providing 203 apartment units designed specially for seniors. The bachelor and one-bedroom units are each equipped with bathroom and kitchenette. There is a central dining room, weekly housekeeping, and access to Baycrest services. In 1977, the adjacent Joseph E. and Minnie Wagman Centre opens, offering a wide variety of physical, recreational and educational programs in many languages to Terrace residents and seniors living in the community.
