Residents, family members and staff of the Riverside Health Complex in Turtleford are pleased that the upgrades to the outdoor courtyard area were completed this past summer, according to a Twin Rivers Health Care Foundation press release.
The new and improved area provides a safe, beautiful space for residents and family members to enjoy the outdoors, the release states.
The project included the resurfacing of the entire courtyard with asphalt, tree removal and a new wrought iron fence to secure the area. New irrigation lines were also installed and linked to the existing system.
The Turtleford Lions Club looked after the tree cutting and the staff and community members served on a committee to spearhead the project.
The total cost of the project was close to $60,000. Prairie North Health Region received $15,000 in support from the Twin Rivers Health Care Foundation. Donations were received by the Foundation from the Mervin and District Golf Club Twin Rivers Charity Tournament, the Turtleford and District Co-operative and individual and memorial contributions.
