Brockville completes $500K capital pledge to Sherwood Park Manor redevelopment
This week, Sherwood Park Manor (SPM) has reached a major milestone in its long-term care redevelopment project following the completion of a $500,000 capital pledge from the City of Brockville.
For the past 50 years, Sherwood Park Manor has operated as a non-profit, and non-municipal home, providing long-term care services in Brockville with a focus on resident-centred care and quality of life. In a release issued on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, SPM officials say the redevelopment will help ensure the facility can continue meeting the evolving needs of seniors in the community for decades to come.
The funding commitment marks a significant step forward in the home’s efforts to modernize its facilities and create a more comfortable, accessible and technologically advanced environment for current and future residents. According to SPM, the city’s $500,000 contribution brings the organization one step closer to achieving its community fundraising goals and advancing construction on the long-awaited redevelopment project.
As previously reported, the $45 million redevelopment project is designed to significantly improve the resident experience through a series of major upgrades and modernizations, including redesigned room configurations that enhance privacy, accessibility and infection prevention measures, and expanded common areas and community-inspired spaces intended to create a more welcoming environment for residents and their families.
“We are incredibly grateful for the City of Brockville’s unwavering partnership,” said Ken Durand Sr., Chair of the Board at Sherwood Park Manor. “Reaching the completion of this pledge is a transformative moment for the home. It not only provides the necessary resources to continue moving our construction timeline forward but also stands as a testament to the City’s commitment to prioritizing the dignity and comfort of our residents for generations to come.”
Mayor Matt Wren echoed this sentiment, saying the city’s investment reflects their long-standing support for the facility and the residents who live there.
“Sherwood Park Manor has been caring for members of our community for decades, and this redevelopment will help ensure that legacy continues for generations to come,” Wren shared. “The City of Brockville is proud to have fulfilled its commitment to this important project. This achievement reflects the power of community partnerships and a shared commitment to caring for our seniors.”
The project will also incorporate updated safety technology and energy-efficient systems to help address the growing demand for long-term care spaces in the Brockville area. “This redevelopment is also helping us to maximize our clinical capabilities including full-time physiotherapy and life enrichment teams for example,” said Lauren Kutchaw, Director of Fundraising & Community Engagement.
“The importance of this project comes down to sustainability, longevity and local access to long-term care,” Kutchaw told Brockvilleist. “We are modernizing our home to ensure residents can remain close to their friends, families, and established community networks rather than being forced to relocate to facilities in other regions.”
When the redevelopment is complete, the most immediate changes will be felt in the daily experience of living and care delivery, according to Kutchaw.
“Instead of one activity room for the entire home, our new building will have activity rooms for social gatherings like coffee clubs and craft nights on each floor in addition to quiet sitting areas throughout the home,” she told Brockvilleist. “Residents and their families will also feel a difference they can’t see with a state-of-the-art HVAC system that will allow for modernized climate control in each resident room and common areas.”
While construction has experienced delays over the process, Sherwood Park Manor expects major project completion later this year.
