Premier Darrell Dexter says the opening of 40 new beds at Bay Side Home in Barrington has been talked about for too long.He says he remembers at least three elections that the beds were promised, and also believes preliminary talks first began in the 1970s.
Dexter says the expansion is a big asset for Shelburne County.
"It's going to supply them with a high quality facility that means that seniors in that area, the loved ones of that part of Shelburne County are going to have a place that they can go and stay near there families."Dexter calls the Bay Side Home expanision a significant increase, basically tripling its size.
The opening will be held at the Home at 1pm Friday afternoon.
