Alexander Mutchmor built Abbotsford House in 1872. For almost a century, from 1889 to 1974, it was a shelter for elderly men. Local churches came together in the early 70’s to build a retirement home for both men and women beside the house. This became the Glebe Centre, and Abbotsford became what it remains today, a senior’s recreational drop-in centre. The house was desig- nated an official heritage site in 1984. “The Doors Open presentation was very good,” says Grant. “About 140 people walked through. There’s quite a history here. And volunteers have helped with the painting and improvements. We’ll look at other events that allow more of the community to come in and see.” If you missed the event, you are welcome to drop by anytime during regular business hours Monday to Friday. The centre is geared towards meeting the needs of the 50+ community. People who live independently throughout Ot- tawa can come to Abbotsford for recreation, socializing and services. Less than six months on the job, Lawrence Grant has just gotten started with his plans for the Glebe Centre. He says his job will include putting pressure on the provincial government for important changes. “I have the blessing of the SUNDAY MARKET board to advocate for the centre at the provincial level, to increase care stan- dards. That is very important to continue to push.
