The O’Leary Legion Jubilee Home was officially opened in 1989. The complex houses 16 modern apartment units designed for seniors. It also features a large recreation room for use by all resi- dents.
The total cost of the building was $817,213.00 and it was built by the O’Leary Legion Branch with financial assistance from Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.
The complex is administered by a volunteer board of directors set up by the O’Leary Legion. The units provide much needed housing for seniors in O’Leary.
