The Story - the beginning
Snug Cove House Society has a long history of supporting seniors on Bowen. After recognizing the need for safe housing options that support seniors, the people of Bowen Island raised funds and purchased 1.2 acres next to Bowen’s only seniors’ housing cooperative, Bowen Court, on Miller Road.
Architectural plans were completed for a 24-unit residence. However, when the project came in over budget, we were forced to cancel. Amazingly, we were approached by an experienced, reputable general contractor who had read our disappointing story in the Undercurrent. He was convinced that, with a few changes, he could build Snug Cove House. Working together, the Board, the contractor, and the subcontractors, the building of Snug Cove House is a reality.
Opening Fall 2027!
This is an exciting time to see the progression being made on the building of Snug Cove House.
After an unfortunate eight-week pause in construction this Spring, when it took longer than expected for the production and delivery of a special insulation (an ultra-high density insulation needed to help prevent the spread of flames to neighbouring buildings, in the unlikely event of a fire during construction). The insulation has been installed and work on the site is advancing as planned.
