It’s a big day for Miramichi Lodge Long-Term Care. Today, the facility is opening its doors to families, staff, volunteers and local dignitaries to mark the lodge’s 50th anniversary. Fifty years ago, the first Miramichi Lodge opened its doors to new residents at 400 Bell Street in Pembroke. Fast forward to 2005, and the County of Renfrew and City of Pembroke both contributed to provincial funding to construct a new, state of the art building at its current location at 975 Pembroke Street West. Entertainment to mark the occasion will be provided beginning at 1pm.
