Suggestions were for trained professionals in teams to travel the area to diag- nose and set-up treatments. Staff would include Physio and Occupational Therapy, Psychiatry and Speech Pathology for instance. Membcrs expressed the opin- ion Birchwood Terrace could be utilized to sct-up a centre for this area. In fact, members ques- tioned why Birchwood Terrace should not be utilized to its fullest extend, setting it up in a multi-functional manner, not only with seniors apartments, but also for Mental Health offices, Resource Centre, A.A. and Drug © Addiction and so on. The wiring has been checked out at Birchwood Terrace and passcd by the Fire Department. Members agreed to forego discussion on the Fashion Show until March.
