December 17, 2015

Boyle Street Community Services announced Thursday it plans to put up a new building on its downtown site that will include housing, a pharmacy and an aboriginal boutique hotel.

The six-storey structure would replace the current facility at 10116 105th Ave. with a curved, multi-coloured structure intended to make Edmonton’s indigenous history more visible, executive director Julian Daly said.

“We want to create a building that is reconciliation in action … It’s a building at the centre of our city that will celebrate aboriginal Edmonton.”

The $60-million project is intended to have about 80 units of housing on four floors for approximately 100 working poor and formerly homeless people, topped by market-priced homes that will help cover the bills.
