Rowe House official opening

The official opening was held on Friday, October 4.

Our club can be proud of its contribution to this project in support of Nanaimo Youth Services.   Originally built in 1906, the house was remodeled with support from various levels of government.  The governments of Canada and B.C. provided a combined investment of $300,000 through the Federal Provincial Housing initiative, under the Investment in Affordable Housing 2011-2014 Agreement. In addition, the Government of B.C. provided financing of $381,515 to enable Nanaimo Youth Services Association to complete the acquisition of the property. The City of Nanaimo provided a $75,000 grant. Labour contributions were provided by the BladeRunners valued at $15,000 and the Rotary Club of Nanaimo North valued at $10,000.
