Community Care on the move

Colborne Community Care is on the move.

Program Coordinator, Cheryl Storey confirmed on August 28 that the social service agency will be moving from 25 King St. E. to its new offices behind Downey Pharmacy on Monday, August 31.














The move isn't far but the impact will be significant.

Ms. Storey says the move to more spacious quarters will allow her and her staff to provide more programming, add more activities and network with other organizations. The move to 11 King St. E. will provide opportunities to work with other agencies like the Northumberland Transportation Initiative and the Enhanced Caregiver Support program. There are other exciting possibilities too.

Clients will be able to get to the Community Care offices by passing through Downey's or by entering the wheelchair-accessible rear entrance via the parking lot up Maybee Lane. The offices themselves will also be wheelchair accessible in every way.

Community Care will hold an official open house for its new offices on Tuesday, September 29 from 1-4 p.m.
