This project provided a much needed hospice facility for the Cowichan Hospice Society which has operated in the Cowichan Valley for 30 years doing house calls only. It consists of a 11,000sf single storey, wood frame on concrete slab-on-grade building, and it is connected to an existing Island Health facility named Cairnsmore Care Home. Among many features, it has a robust HVAC system on emergency power, nurse call system, PA system, patient lifts, wall protection and handrails, common kitchen and living room and childs play area for clients inside and a large landscaped area outside with a walking path loop and several rest areas for residents. 

Construction of this important community project proceeded despite the Covid-19 pandemic and in fact, demonstrated the ability of our company and our trade partners to adapt to the exigent circumstances we were all facing and still deliver the project in a timely basis and exceeding the Society’s and Island Health’s expectations.
