support(s) you require,” she finished in the tersely worded letter. The group is hoping to speak to city council at its next meeting to solicit ad- ministrative support for the project. “Our city council has to help (by) providing the administrative and technical support we re- quire to move on,” saidWilson. “The only way this will succeed is if we are pulling in the same direction, making sure this facility is used for the common good and social benefit of the community, with a focus on seniors.” “It is similar toVictoriaVillage in Barrie and we are following a similar process,” he said, referring to a recent exclusive story on the successful conversion of the former Royal Victoria Hospital into a multi-use, seniors’- focused centre. MacDonald said after the announcement he does not know how much time the hos- pital is allowing the group. But he said the fact the group’s offer was not rejected out- right by the hospital board at its meeting late Thursday afternoon is good news. Two council members at the press confer- ence, David Murphy and André Rivette, said they support the project but are unwilling to see city dollars spent on the former Corn- wall General Hospital site.

We have to put politics aside and work together.” The granting of time for the group was indicated in a letter to Mark MacDonald of the Concern Citizens Coaltion from Helene Periard, chair of the Cornwall Community Hospital’s board of directors. “As you know, we are engaged in a pro- cess where we have made commitments which involve timelines. These will be re- spected for all involved,” said Periard in a somewhat cryptic letter. “We expect that the timelines will per- mit opportunity for you to pursue the
