Dundas Manor

04/07/2026

More than 200 of Ontario’s long-term care homes are located in rural communities. Many are older homes that need to be rebuilt so that rural seniors can continue to age in place in their home communities.

Dundas Manor in Wi******er is one project already well underway. Rebuilding this much-needed home will add more spaces for seniors who need the care and support that long-term care provides.

Construction of this new home is contributing $69 million to GDP and $48 million in labour income. Once complete, the redeveloped Dundas Manor will be part of a campus of care, helping to integrate the LTC home into the broader health care system and ensuring residents can conveniently connect to the care they need.

Our home enjoys welcoming students placements with our residents. Here are 3 recent graduates from their time with us!

1. Congratulations are sent to Ruby from the Practical Nursing Program at St. Lawrence College in Cornwall. Ruby recently completed her Community Placement with her RPN preceptor, Angie, and the team of Registered Staff at Dundas Manor. We wish Ruby the very best in her nursing career!

2. Kudos to Lindsay for completing her PSW placement at Dundas Manor through the Humber College PSW Learn and Earn Program (LEAP).

🏡 Neighbourhood News 💙💚

A Warm Welcome
There’s something exciting happening at the new Dundas Manor, the front doors are officially in! With large windows letting in plenty of natural light, the lobby is beginning to take shape and already feels welcoming. It’s a big moment that gives a real sense of what’s to come.

Site Conditions & Landscaping
As spring arrives, we can expect the usual seasonal challenges around the site. Muddy and wet conditions are likely during the thaw, but crews are closely monitoring the area and continuing to follow established mud control protocols to keep the street safe and disruption to a minimum. W**d control will also remain in place until landscaping work officially gets underway.

Construction Progress
Final exterior finishings are now in progress, an exciting sign that the project is moving steadily forward. Fence installation around the North/West parking lot will begin soon, helping reduce light pollution from vehicle traffic. The team is also continuing to explore whether fencing around the full property would further enhance resident safety.

Old School Convenience, Modern Comfort
Sometimes the old ideas really are the best ones. The new home now has garbage and laundry chutes installed, a practical, time-tested feature that fits right in with modern living and adds a welcome touch of convenience for staff.

Spring Brings Progress
As work at the new Dundas Manor continues, we’d like to thank neighbours and community members for their patience and support along the way. With warmer weather ahead, the site will keep taking shape, landscaping will move closer to the forefront, and the building will begin to feel even more like home. Spring promises visible progress and brighter days ahead, and we look forward to sharing more milestones as the new Dundas Manor continues its journey towards becoming a welcoming part of the neighbourhood.
