SENIORS HOUSING In the early sixties the provincial government began to look into the building of apartments for seniors who did not require care as provided in a manor and who wished to move into smaller and more comfortable homes. Social Services under the leadership of Hon . Henry Wedge initiated this fine program. O'Leary has done remark¬ ably well in providing such apartments for senior citizens from the community and surrounding areas. The first apartment with four units was finished in 1964. It is now known as A Senior Citizens Home. The first tenants are believed to be as follows: Forrest and Gertie Phillips, shortly followed by Jacob and Bertha MacNaught , Tennis and Rose Peters , Joe and Edith Pineau and Arthur and Constance Perry. B was opened on May 10, 1974. It contained six units and a recreation hall. Ken Williams , Eva Gamble , Beulah MacWillians , Bruce and Tillie MacDougall , Jerry and Gertie Richard and Velda MacNeill were its first occupants. In 1981 C was opened. It contained eight units, a com¬ modious corridor and an ample laundry room. George and Jean Ellis, Lila Gillcash for a short time, Elmer and Verna Shaw, Elizabeth (Lizzie) Sullivan, Carrie Boulter , Dorothy MacDougall , Rene Cain , Margaret Wood , John and Emily Clements, made their home here. Due to the immense popularity and steady growth of these worthwhile ventures, another wing, consisting of six units was added to B in 1982 and opened its doors to Edna Brooks , Albert and Inez Robinson, Atwood and Cora MacDonald, Jennie Barwise , Eva MacLean and Elizabeth (Lizzie) Gallant. 189
