Etobicoke care center acquires specially equipped mini-bus

The Ukrainian Canadian Care Center in Etobicoke, Ontario, recently acquired a lift-equipped mini-bus. With the approaching warm weather, residents of the care center will be able to visit local attractions. The mini-bus can accommodate 30 passengers. When required, seating can be altered to accommodate six wheelchair passengers with seating for an additional four people. The mini-bus is painted white with blue-and-gold accents. The interior has been upgraded to offer the passengers extra protection and comfort. The donors of this mini-bus, which cost $85,000, are Eugene and Laura Melnyk, who are also the donors of the care center's magnificent chapel. The Ukrainian Canadian Care Center, which has 120 nursing beds, is filled to capacity. An active campaign is under way to complete the center's fourth floor to provide an additional 60 nursing beds.
