O'LEARY — The Maple House Centre, including the bakery, is set to move into the former O'Leary liquor store in the new year.
Community Inclusions, which runs the centre, plans to add a lunch counter and small seating area for the bakery.
Earlier this year the Prince Edward Island Liquor Control Commission moved its O’Leary corporate retail outlet to a more central location, providing increased opportunity for traffic and visibility in the town. The move left the former building vacant and available for a new tenant.
A successful bid was received as part of a request for proposal process to non-profit organizations and will see Community Inclusions Ltd. take over the space to continue its work in the area.
“Our government is pleased to see non-profit organizations like Community Inclusions Ltd. benefit from a new space to support adults living with intellectual disabilities,” noted Robert Henderson, minister responsible for the P.E.I. Liquor Control Commission.
“This new space comes is a welcome change that will enable us to provide better accessibility to those we serve and to the community of West Prince,” noted Kevin Porter, Executive Director, Community Inclusions Ltd.
Community Inclusions Ltd. will now source funding to assist with the project and expects to begin renovations soon in order to open its new location in 2015.
