Residents of the Burquitlam Lions Care Centre in Coquitlam have until next August to find
somewhere else to live. Fraser Health issued a oneyear notice that the affiliation agreement and funding would end on Aug. 4, 2016, according to Burquitlam’s administrator,
David Dines. Residents will continue to be admitted until January, when the organization will begin winding down. Residents and their families have already been notified of
the pending changes but Dines remains concerned about how they’ll handle such a significant alteration in their routine. see MOVING, page 8
