Housing is based on a variety of criteria and an application for residence is required. Applications do not guarantee tenancy. It is impossible to predict how quickly an apartment will become available as availability is based on the number of apartments turnovers and the needs of the applicants applying for housing.

In June of 2021 a $13.6 million upgrade to both the Ernest Winch Tower and the New Vista Tower was completed. The renovation scope included: exterior paint and lighting, new windows, balcony treatments, new generators, new elevators, new roofs, new boilers and fire system upgrades. These renovations will renew the buildings for decades to come, for our low income senior residents. Exterior LED Lighting upgrades have also been made possible with a BC Housing Grant for enhanced safety on our property.
