The County has released an update on the Simcoe Village Campus Project in Beeton.

The site is currently undergoing site preparation activities. This initial site preparation phase is expected to be completed in mid-2023, with building construction beginning shortly thereafter.

It will commence when all building and design approvals are granted.

The project will include occupancy for the long-term care home, Village Centre, and Supportive Housing components with completion expected in 2025.

Once complete, the new campus will provide 160 long-term care beds plus 179 seniors housing units and homes. With a wide range of housing available, future residents will be able to live on one campus as their care needs evolve and change.

The new Simcoe Village Campus will replicate the highly successful, provincially recognized and awarded Georgian Village Campus model. Georgian Village was opened by the County in 2013 in the Town of Penetanguishene.

“This will be a tremendous legacy project for the county that will help seniors across our communities, and particularly in South Simcoe,” said Simcoe County Warden, George Cornell. “We continue to thank all our partners, including the Government of Ontario, for investing in this redevelopment project, and I look forward to attending the grand opening of the New Simcoe Village Campus as a past Warden, in 2025.”

The County has also started a vital fundraising campaign to assist with raising $4.5 million towards special projects at the new campus including outdoor amenities such as gazebos, garden accessories, outdoor benches, health and wellness amenities, and socialization amenities such as a coffee bar.

These extra amenities and features will enhance the lives of those living on the campus.
