Mac Bain - council capsuleA couple of groups have put out requests for proposals to build a hospice in North Bay.

This is with the support of Council as they voted in favour of a motion brought forward by Councillor Mac Bain on Monday.

He says this is something they should have in North Bay. Bain says a hospice provides families an alternative atmosphere to hospitals, in which to say goodbye to loved ones during their last days. Bain says the RFP’s from these two groups include what the building will cost and how much it will be to maintain, as well as what the building will look like.
