The Boyne Lodge Personal Care Home in Carman has been named Economic Development Project of the Year by the Economic Developers Association of Manitoba (EDAM). The award, along with three others, were handed out during the organization's annual fall forum.
According to EDAM's web site, the distinction recognizes a municipality, CDC, town, group, or committee that has undertaken a project or activity in the last eighteen months that has or will have significant and long-term economic effect. In order to meet the criteria, the project the project must be new with the possibility of being replicated; must be local, regional or provincial in scope; community or business focused; and demonstrate a significant impact to the community or region.
Construction of the new Boyne Lodge got underway in spring 2019 after years of planning and collaboration. Phase 1, located next to the original 70-bed personal care home built in 1967, officially opened this past August. It consists of 79 new beds grouped in clusters of single-resident rooms with washrooms and showers that form a local neighbourhood of nine to 10 resident rooms. Each neighbourhood includes kitchen, dining and activity spaces, as well as private lounge areas, storage, utility and resident-use laundry. The overall facility includes large, multi-purpose gathering spaces offices, staff areas, maintenance and housekeeping service areas and exterior patios, walkways and parking.
Phase 2 will see the original personal care home space be renovated to add 26 beds and modern resident support space.
