DELEGATIONS
3.1
Peter Goldthrope, Marco Buccini, Keith McBain and Brenda Liggett, Fraser Health
Authority
Peter Goldthrope, Marco Buccini, Keith McBain and Brenda Liggett, Fraser Health Authority made a
presentation to the Board on the redevelopment of the old MSA Hospital Site in Abbotsford, BC, with a
view to seeking the Board's endorsement to fund the capital portion of the redevelopment project.
The current 13.34 acre former MSA Hospital Site encompasses the Cottage and Worthing Pavilions
which are aging facilities that do not meet current complex care standards. Fraser Health sees an
opportunity to leverage the land value of the MSA Hospital Site to replace the aging care facilities,
resulting in the revitalization of the McCallum corridor in the City of Abbotsford.
Fraser Health noted that the Release of Assets for Economic Generation program has been put in
place by the Province to facilitate the disposition of Provincial assets that are surplus. As a result, the
vacant MSA Hospital lands are required to be disposed of by March 31, 2015.
The specific project goals include:
•
Replace 119 non-compliant residential care beds at the Cottage and Worthington Pavilions;

Support the redevelopment of Menno Place by transferring 81 beds to the new complex care
facility;
Consolidate community health programs into a "one stop shop" Community Health Centre;
Maximize the financial benefits from the disposition of the land to support capital renewal in the
community;
Support City of Abbotsford's urban renewal goals; and
Mitigate land and facility risk to Fraser Health.
The following expected outcomes were presented:
•
•
•
•
A modern 200 bed Campus of Care for Seniors;
A 57,000 square foot Community Health Centre;
A high density, urban village with multi-family housing, social housing, retail and other
amenities; and
An urban park on 1.1 acres of existing treed land.
The redevelopment would include a strategic partnership between the Fraser Valley Regional Hospital
District, the City of Abbotsford, the Fraser Health Authority and the Mennonite Benevolent Society.
It was noted that a recent market sounding for the MSA Hospital Lands was very positive, and with
redevelopment of the lands, it is anticipated that the values would support the economics of the project.
A proposed schedule was presented, noted that the project could be completed sometime in 2017/18.
There was discussion by the board regarding issues around low barrier housing, at risk housing,
housing for the homeless and mentally ill, as well as housing for detox.
LOEWEN/FORMAN
THAT the Fraser Valley Regional Hospital District, subject to a successful Request for Proposal
Process by the Fraser Health Authority, approve a funding commitment of 40% of the capital cost of the
Campus of Care for Seniors.
