      CENTRE HASTINGS HOUSING HOPES
      Belleville, ON, Canada / Quinte News

      Centre  Hastings  is  still  waiting  to  hear  back  from  the  federal
      government  on  their  application  to  the  Housing  Accelerator
      Fund.
      CAO Typhany Choinard  tells Quinte News the municipality is
      looking  at  a  population  growth  of  16%  by  2036.    “That  grant
      supports  several  initiatives  to  improve  the  housing  stock  in  the
      community. We have submitted that application to that as well as
      a  housing  needs  study  that  we’ve  prepared  in  house.”  “Centre
      Hastings is looking to be a hub for housing growth.
      We’re looking at capitalizing on the Eastern Ontario Wardens Caucus “7 in 7” (7,000 new residential units in 7 years), which I
      think allows about 1,800 homes for Hastings County.”
      Choinard says the hope is to have 500 new units, mostly in the urban portion of the municipality, in the next 12 years.  The
      CMHC  Housing  Accelerator  Fund  encourages  initiatives  that  increase  housing  supply  in  urban,  rural,  and  northern
      municipalities and Indigenous communities.


      MADOC C.O.P.E
      On  Saturday,  October  7,  2023,  participants  from  Madoc  C.O.P.E.
      Community Living went to the Norwood Fair.  We took three vans
      full  of  people.    I  was  surprised  to  see  how  amazing  the  fair  was
      because it was the biggest fair I had ever been to. I had never been
      to  that  fair  before.  We  all  had  a  lot  of  fun  going  on  the  rides  and
      watching the parade. We ate our lunches on picnic benches at the
      fair by the horse ring. Then I went on the octagon ride and another
      one and it was so much fun. We all had a blast and it was the best
      fair I have ever been to. We also want to thank the support and the
      C.O.P.E.  staff  for  everything  especially  for  taking  us  to  one  of  the
      biggest and best fall fair around.
