After a couple of weeks of cleaning up, next week Parents’ Place will once again be able to offer regular programming at its Barnard Street location, and off site as well.
Since the start of the new year, the family resource centre has not been able to offer any programming because a section of the building was heavily damaged by water.
Over the Christmas and New Year’s holiday break, pipes burst in the building and the water damage spread to two floors of the older section of the building.
Although that part of the building was only used for storage, the resulting debris and clean-up meant that parts of the building used for the public for programming had to temporarily be turned into storage areas themselves.
And staff that operate the programs offered by Parents’ Place were busy cleaning up the building.
On Friday Annette Deveau, executive director of Parents’ Place, said they are ready to begin regular programming again on Monday, Jan. 26.
As for the damaged section of the building, it will be demolished as opposed to repaired.
It’s unclear when the demolition will begin, although it won’t be in the immediate future.
