The Town of Sioux Lookout is one step closer to getting a long-awaited long term care home.
The province is giving the Sioux Lookout Meno-Ya-Win Health Center $2.5 million for a planning grant.
The goal is to build a 96-bed facility.
Meno-Ya-Win says the grant will allow them to go from the planning to construction.
It adds the funding will complete the required planning, and design development and prepare tender-ready documents for the project.
The new build will be part of the Health Care center.
