The proposed site for the hub.
Smiths Falls Mayor Shawn Pankow hopes that proposing land to host the Rideau Community Health Services hub, which will house many health and well-being related services will push plans forward significantly.
Pankow says the importance wasn’t lost on council.
The proposed site is in the Hyland Park portion of Hyland-Corbett Park. Its in an area that can serve a lot of people.
The Mayor says there are other positive signs too.
The Hub will provide services many in the neighbourhood may have considered inaccessible due to factors such as lack of transportation, or lack of a family doctor or nurse practitioner.
Some ideas came out of consultations with residents of the area, such as using the hub as a community centre of sorts for the neighbourhood.
