Community Outreach Centre operations could move as early as Saturday

P.E.I. Housing Minister Rob Lantz says the province’s Community Outreach Centre could move to its new Park Street location as early as Saturday.

He says work has ramped up on site this week ahead of an inspection scheduled for Friday, which will determine whether the new location gets an occupancy permit. 

“It’s a monumental effort. [There’s] a lot of tradespeople on site right now, it’s still very much a construction site,” Lantz told CBC News on Tuesday.

“I think this is a good move. It’s going to help us serve this population better and give us a chance to take a look at how we deliver these services, both here in the city and across the province.”

Lantz said if they don’t get the occupancy permit upon first inspection, it will only delay the move by a day or two.
