New seniors apartment complex opens in Coniston, Ontario

A new seniors apartment complex in Coniston, Ontario, opened in late 2023, providing 55 units for older residents. This project, initiated by Les Lisk, aims to help seniors remain in their community as rental options are limited. The building, funded with $18 million, has created a waitlist of 100 people due to high demand. Rents range from $1,200 to over $2,000 per month, allowing seniors like Sandra Fournier to stay close to family and friends. Residents report a strong sense of community, with shared activities and support among neighbors. The complex has also enabled younger families, like Paige Eastwood's, to move into the area after seniors downsize.
