On May 31, after a thorough examination of the roots, present and future of Nisbet Lodge and McClintock Manor, the Board approved a new mission and vision statement.

Drawing from a bigger volunteer pool

At the Nisbet Lodge annual general meeting on June 29th, the members adopted a new bylaw that allows Nisbet Lodge to draw Board members from a greater pool of volunteers.  Now up to 40 percent (40%) of the Board can come from the broader Christian community.

Thanks to our many donors, as well as the hard work of our Foundation board and Fundraising Committee, we have completed the ‘Planning for the Seniors of Tomorrow Campaign’!  This $200,000 fund provides the Board with resources to explore options for redevelopment of Nisbet Lodge.
